Creative emails

Emails don't have to have a boring design!

Creative emails

If you're using Outlook Express, the normal email will "just' be a black font (typically Times or Arial - size 10) on normal white background (letter style).

That is okay for a short message email or an official looking email, but for "talking to friends" or sending out birthday emails etc., sometimes we would like it to look a little more unique and interesting - to be able to make more creative emails.

Even with the traditional Outlook Express you do have a few ways of sending more creative emails.

You can change:

Font
Font Size
Text Alignment
Text Color
Create Lists
Insert a line
Insert images

With a few clicks from the tools menu, you can change the design.

I have found that the easiest way of doing that is writng the email and make your design changes afterwards.

So....

Write the email
Mark the part you want to change (left click, hold down the mouse button and drag over the text)
as long as the text is marked you can make all kinds of changes to it

In this example I chose to change the font, size of font, font color, I made the font Italic, center-aligned it all and inserted an image...a few very easy steps to take to create a more interesting email.

You can also choose to change the background of your email

Click Format > Background > and choose color or Picture

Color:

Background Image:

Note! The images best suited for background images is either colorfaded images or tileable images. You can chose to use one of the pre-installed backgrounds, you can find on the list, when you choose Picture from the Format background menu, or you can choose to Browse for an image from your own Pictures folder.

As soon as you have become familiar with using your email program, and if you are just a little bit like me, who wants to be even more creative, when you send messages to people, you are ready to move on to an even more fachinating email program with a lot more functions for creative people.
