The Neiman Marcus email blasts displayed below are almost like mini works of art. Each has been carefully crafted to match imagery, color, and typography into what would other wise be a stale template formula. In a way these designs really reflect more of a print style then web. Perhaps this is a result of the designer working on them? Or perhaps it is due to some of the ways an email campaign can be quickly made. If everything is in one big image, why not just make it a beautiful image. Given that your not limited in font choices and the typical technical gotchas.

One thing is for sure, the brand imaging is extremely consistent. Each email reinforces the stylish connotations the company wants its consumers to have. Being a high end retail store image is everything and these stylish emails play into that perfectly.
