The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights needed a refresh of their email templates. Their priorities included dark mode compatibility, as well as mobile compatibility. The templates were designed with a variety of optional content areas decided by the content of previous campaigns.

Designing for Dark Mode

Some email clients do not allow for custom dark mode styles and images, instead inverting all colors in dark mode. We kept this in mind when choosing how and when to implement color and imagery.

Three Colorways

We designed 3 variations of the template—three colorways to align with their 3 areas of focus.
