Elion Christmas animated email 2020

A multilingual seasonal email for international clients

Context

For Elion’s 2020 Christmas campaign, I designed and coded a seasonal greeting email for B2B clients in Catalan, English and German.

The project combined the existing Elion visual identity with animated GIF assets and email-compatible HTML/CSS for a polished multilingual send.

Email animation and multilingual layout considerations

1

Cross-client rendering

Email clients support animation differently. The campaign included static fallback assets for clients with limited GIF or animation support.

2

File size vs. quality

GIF assets were optimised to balance file size, loading performance and visual clarity for email use.

3

Multilingual layout

The email template was adapted for Catalan, English and German, accommodating different text lengths while maintaining a consistent layout.
