不是每个人都是图形设计师，也不应该是！但是，我们都希望为我们的组织制作具有专业外观的内容。简陋的时事通讯尤其如此。尽管世界正在走向数字化，但时事通讯仍然是让您的利益相关者了解正在发生的事情的最佳方式之一。
无论是企业、学校、慈善机构还是任何其他有组织的活动，时髦的时事通讯都会通知并打动支持您的人。好消息是网络上有大量免费的时事通讯模板，您可以将其用于电子邮件和印刷时事通讯。我们选择了 15 个最好的，涵盖各种用例。
当然，您不必拘泥于模板的预期用途。唯一铁定的规则是Comic Sans永远不会好。
课堂通讯(Class Newsletter)- MS Office 模板(Class Newsletter – MS Office Templates)
有很多班级时事通讯(class newsletter)模板看起来像是作为幼儿园项目完成的，但这个来自(kindergarten project)Microsoft的时髦模板设法完美地在蜡笔和蜡笔启发之间找到了界限。看起来很有趣，而且看起来很痛苦，许多设计师似乎无法理解。
如果您是一名教师，想让父母了解他们孩子日常学校生活(school life)中发生的事情，这个模板既可以为您节省大量时间，也可以让您的整个操作看起来更加专业。
学校通讯(School Newsletter)- MS Office 模板(School Newsletter – MS Office Templates)
这本学校通讯(school newsletter)以其大胆的色彩使用、现代专业的外观和最高的可读性而著称。这种设计实际上适用于各种用例，在这些用例中，您希望有一个正式的外观，而不会让人觉得闷闷不乐(stuffy and boring)。
故事页面(story page)的设计方式使您可以轻松地将其克隆为更长的时事通讯，但如果您的时事通讯相当频繁，这个两页的免费时事通讯模板(newsletter template)留出足够的空间来为您的受众编写简明的故事。
非营利通讯(Nonprofit Newsletter)- MS Office 模板(Nonprofit Newsletter – MS Office Templates)
这个模板有一个强大的下载大小(beefy download size)，但是当你考虑到这个模板的设计有多少是合理的。
非营利组织的生死存亡取决于捐助者和潜在捐助者的恩典。他们必须迅速传达信息，同时讲述激发和引起同情的故事。现有的捐助者需要知道他们的资金得到了很好的利用，潜在的捐助者也必须相信这一点。
这个模板可以做到这一点，特别是因为首页突出地为您最有影响力的图片和内部内容的精美可读摘要留出了空间。如果你不能用那个抓住别人(grab someone)的注意力，那么我们不知道该说什么。
这个免费的通讯模板(newsletter template)也适用于任何有抱负的项目类型。这个想法是为了传达一种积极的感觉。您还应该考虑将模板的主要颜色与您选择的照片(chosen photo)的主要颜色相匹配。这是此模板在示例中运行良好的主要原因之一。
每周通讯(Weekly Newsletter)– MS Office 模板(Weekly Newsletter – MS Office Templates)
我们不确定是什么让这个模板成为“每周”时事通讯(” newsletter)，但这个极简主义的极简信笺用这么少的东西做这么多。如果您有正确的徽标(right logo)，则此模板会唤起从有机农民到当地家庭拥有的健康食品商店的任何人都可以使用的(health food store)健康氛围(health and wellness vibe)。
这里的颜色选择(color choice)很棒，如果您选择自己更改颜色，我们建议您保持阴影不变。
技术商业通讯(Technology Business Newsletter)– MS Office 模板(Technology Business Newsletter – MS Office Templates)
你必须把它交给微软(Microsoft)的设计师，他们肯定知道如何一目了然地立即传达“技术通讯”。好像他们以前做过这个，或者别的什么。
布局很干净，有很多地方可以插入有趣的短信息。一份好的科技通讯(tech newsletter)的秘诀是让读者轻松挑选与他们最相关的信息。这个模板的布局最大限度地减少了混乱，同时保持它的流畅和令人愉悦(slick and pleasant)的外观。
行政通讯(Executive Newsletter)- MS Office 模板(Executive Newsletter – MS Office Templates)
虽然这个模板被称为“执行”通讯(” newsletter)，但我们认为它更适合初创公司或众筹项目。它具有您期望从破坏者系列中获得的(disruptor set)时尚外观(hip look)。正是那些很酷的几何形状赋予了它不那么企业化的科技创业氛围。
如果您想继续炒作，但又不想透露太多细节，那么它尤其完美。这个免费的时事通讯模板的(newsletter template)故事副本(story copy)空间不足，但如果您现在没有太多话要说，那也没关系。
时事通讯(Newsletter)（条形设计）-MS Office 模板(Newsletter (Bars Design) -MS Office Templates)
这具有我们喜爱的 90 年代复古企业氛围。也许这是讽刺怀旧的说法，但这感觉就像阅读Windows 98时代的计算机手册(computer manual)。
您的年长技术观众会欣赏它。此外，如果您不想使用任何照片，这是一个完美的模板。我们建议仅用类似设计的复古剪贴画替换图形。否则它会破坏整个事情。
这里有大量的空间来详细讲述故事，但空间的使用方式却让人感觉没有什么局促。这是我们见过的最好的经典通讯模板之一！
餐厅(Restaurant)– MS Office 模板(Restaurant – MS Office Templates)
令人惊讶的是，一点视觉语言如何唤起其他感官。你几乎可以从这个模板中闻到香草和香料的味道。当然，如果您的美食通讯或食品招待业务拥有自己的(newsletter or food hospitality business)专业美食形象(professional food image)，那么它仍然会与所选字体和配色方案(chosen typeface and color scheme)完美搭配——但随附的照片是一流的。
时事通讯几乎是高档餐馆的菜单。有趣(Interestingly)的是，一些餐馆已经开始在迷你杂志上发布他们的斜线菜单(mini-magazine slash menu)，而这个时事通讯完美地传达了这种风格。
时事通讯(Newsletter)(Newsletter)– MS Office 模板( – MS Office Templates)
相当厚颜无耻的是，微软(Microsoft)将这个免费的时事通讯模板(newsletter template)简单地命名为“时事通讯”，但看起来它可能是合适的。这很可能是此列表中最多时事通讯的通讯。
抛开所有的笑话不谈，这是一部极简主义的杰作。文本(Text)被整齐地划分为高效的列，具有简单的颜色块和良好的字体选择。这一切都作为完美的通用时事通讯汇集在一起。甚至可以安全地将默认颜色更改为您喜欢的任何互补色。它不会损害整体美感。
如果您想要一个模板，让您有足够的空间清楚地讲述多个故事，并且不想浪费任何时间自定义它，那么这就是您的模板。
时事通讯（黑色领带）(Newsletter (Black Tie)) – MS Office 模板(Newsletter (Black Tie) – MS Office Templates)
有句话叫“媒介就是信息”，这基本上意味着有时媒介的某些方面会与一个(medium become)时间和地点(time and place)的典型信息相关联。
想想黑白电影。当现代电影制作人选择制作黑白电影时，通常是为了唤起一种经典电影的感觉。制作那些经典电影片名的人在这件事上别无选择：彩色胶卷(color film hadn)还没有被发明出来。
这将我们带到了这个“黑色领带”时事通讯。如果您正在寻找为您的文学俱乐部(literature club)或其他艺术活动创建时事通讯，那么此时事通讯具有易读性和经典传单设计(handbill design)的完美组合，以保持优雅。
作为奖励，您可以使用单色激光打印机(mono laser printer)廉价地打印此设计，同时不会失去原有的魅力。
假日通讯（圣诞老人的雪橇和驯鹿）(Holiday Newsletter (Santa’s Sleigh & Reindeer) ) – MS Office 模板(Holiday Newsletter (Santa’s Sleigh & Reindeer) – MS Office Templates)
当您无法见到您想见的所有家人时，假期会很艰难，但是通过一份不错的时事通讯，您可以让扩展关系了解您生活中发生的事情。当然，人们现在拥有Facebook和其他社交媒体，但个人通讯具有更多的情感价值。
问题在于，浏览具有节日风格的免费通讯模板总是意味着看到令人难以置信的丑陋、花哨的设计。但是，此模板表明您可以在没有Comic Sans和蜡笔艺术的情况下保留圣诞老人。(Santa)它看起来真的很优雅，同时仍然充满了圣诞快乐。
更好的是，您不必想出主题来填充它。该模板包含有关在每个部分中包含的内容的详细想法。
花艺通讯(Floral Newsletter)– 兄弟创意中心(Floral Newsletter – Brother Creative Center)
微软(Microsoft)的上述免费模板非常易于使用。您只需将它们下载为Word文件并照常进行。虽然Brother提供了他们的时事通讯模板供任何人使用，但您还必须使用他们自己的在线编辑器(online editor)。幸运的是，它非常简单，生成的PDF又漂亮又清晰。适合打印或电子邮件(print or email)。
这个特别的时事通讯提供了一个可爱的花卉背景，有两张照片的空间，裁剪成圆形框架。建议的用途是用于水疗或其他健康业务(wellness business)，但这种单页通讯设计(newsletter design)可能适用于任何想要将一些快速信息传播给相关方的“软”企业。
它作为印刷传单(print flyer)也很引人注目，您可以将其堆叠在店内或人们(in-store or wherever people)闲逛和等待的任何地方。就像一个医生的办公室。
这是兄弟创意中心(Brother Creative Center)的另一个软木塞。如果您拥有或计划拥有AirBnB，那么这是一个完美的时事通讯模板(newsletter template)，可以让留下来的人知道可以做什么，以及您的平板电脑最新发生的事情。
它也非常适合作为时事通讯通过电子邮件发送给多年来在您的访客簿上签名的人。着眼于引诱他们再次入住。当然，你的摄影游戏(photography game)需要很到位，但如果你有照片，这是将它们插入的完美模板。
你好弗罗斯特(Hello Frost)– Adobe Spark(Hello Frost – Adobe Spark)
这是此列表中的两个Adobe Spark 通讯(Adobe Spark newsletter)模板之一。和Brother的一样，您需要使用 Adobe 自己的在线编辑器(online editor)。此外，除非您有付费订阅，否则您将不得不在时事通讯的角落放置一个微小的Adobe Spark 水印(Adobe Spark watermark)。然而，它真的一点也不突兀，考虑到其中一些模板有多好，这是一个小小的牺牲。
说到这里，Hello Frost立即引起了我们的注意，它是展示您的摄影作品并让人们了解您去过的有趣地方和看过的事物的完美模板。
当然，默认模板(default template)已设计为具有冬季/秋季颜色，但您可以立即更改它。它很有艺术气息，但仍然非常易读，如果您打算频繁发布小版本，这是一个不错的选择。
文献监视器(Literature Monitor)– Adobe Spark(Literature Monitor – Adobe Spark)
人们甚至不再阅读了吗？好吧，你的朋友们也这样做了，他们很想(dying)听听你本周对文学世界的最新想法。如果您想唤起深受喜爱的纸质书籍的气味和噼啪声， (smell and crackle)Adobe Spark的这个模板就是门票。
你可以想象，如果在他的邮箱里发现了这封信，海明威(Hemingway)自己会发出温和的赞许。尽管具有讽刺意味的是，这种高度易读的布局最适合那些对措辞吝啬的人。如果你明白我们在说什么。
Extra! Extra! Read All About it!
哇(Wow)，多么适合各种场合的时髦、免费通讯模板的宝库啊。(treasure trove)根据您的喜好调整它们，然后享受您在聘请平面设计师时节省的钱，同时让每个人都认为(everyone think)您的出版物已经成为专业人士。
实际写作全在您身上，但是我们无法帮助您。
15 Free Newsletter Templates You Can Print or Email
Not everуone іs a graphics designer, nor should they be! Howevеr, we are all expected tо produce professional looking content for our organizations. That’s especially true of the humble newsletter. Despite the world going digital, the newsletter remaіns one of the best ways to kеep your stakеholders informed of what’s going on.
Whether it’s a business, school, charity or any other organized activity, a snazzy newsletter informs and impresses the people who support you. The good news is that there are plenty of free newsletter templates on the web you can use for both email and printed newsletters. We’ve selected 15 of the best ones, covering various use cases.
Of course, you don’t have to stick to the intended purpose of the template. The only iron-clad rule is that Comic Sans is never OK.
There are a lot of class newsletter templates that look like they were done as a kindergarten project, but this snazzy template from Microsoft manages to tread the line between crayon and crayon-inspired perfectly. It’s fun without being painful to look at, which many designers just can’t seem to grasp.
If you’re a teacher who’d like to keep parents in the loop about what’s happening in their children’s daily school life, this template will both save you a lot of time and make your whole operation seem that much more professional.
This school newsletter stands out for its bold use of colors, modern professional look and supreme readability. This design would actually work well for all sorts of use cases, where you want to have an official look without coming across as stuffy and boring.
The story page is designed in such a way that you can easily clone it for longer newsletters, but if your newsletter is fairly frequent, this two-page free newsletter template leaves plenty of space to write concise stories for your audience.
This template has a beefy download size, but it’s justified when you take into account how much went into this template’s design.
Nonprofit organizations live or die by the grace of donors and potential donors. They have to get the message across quickly, while telling stories that inspire and engender sympathy. Existing donors need to know that their money is being put to good use and potential donors must be convinced of the same.
This template nails it, especially since the front page prominently leaves a space for your most impactful picture and a beautifully readable summary of the contents inside. If you can’t grab someone’s attention with that, then we don’t know what to say.
This free newsletter template would also work well for any aspirational type of project. Where the idea is to convey a sense of positivity. You should also consider matching the main color of the template to the main color of your chosen photo. It’s one of the main reasons this template works so well in the example.
We’re not sure what makes this template a “weekly” newsletter, but that wonderful minimalist letterhead does so much with so little. If you have the right logo for it, this template evokes a health and wellness vibe that anyone from organic farmers to the local family-owned health food store could use.
The color choice here is sublime and we’d recommend leaving the shade unchanged if you do opt to change the colors themselves.
You have to hand it to the designers at Microsoft, they sure do know how to instantly communicate “tech newsletter” at a glance. It’s like they’ve done this before, or something.
The layout is clean, with plenty of spots to insert interesting short bits of info. The secret to a good tech newsletter is to let readers easily pick and choose the information that’s most relevant to them. This template’s layout minimized the confusion while keeping it all slick and pleasant to look at.
While this template is billed as an “executive” newsletter, we think it’s better suited to startups or crowdfunding projects. It has that hip look you’d expect from the disruptor set. It’s those cool geometric shapes that give it the not-quite-corporate tech-startup vibe.
It’s especially perfect if you want to keep the hype going, but don’t want to give too many details away. This free newsletter template is low on space for story copy, but that’s OK if you don’t have much to say right now.
Newsletter (Bars Design) -MS Office Templates
This has a retro-corporate vibe from the 90s that we just love. Maybe it’s ironic nostalgia talking, but this feels like reading a computer manual from the days of Windows 98.
Your older tech audiences will appreciate it. Also, this is the perfect template if you don’t want to use any photos. We recommend replacing the graphics only with retro clipart of a similar design. Otherwise it spoils the whole thing.
There’s tons of space for detailed stories here, yet the space has been used in such a way that nothing feels cramped. This is one of the best classic newsletter templates we’ve yet seen!
Restaurant – MS Office Templates
It’s amazing how a bit of visual language can evoke the other senses. You can almost smell herbs and spices from this template. Of course, if you have your own saucy professional food image for your foodie newsletter or food hospitality business then it will still go perfectly with the chosen typeface and color scheme – the included photos are however top-notch.
The newsletter almost comes off as a menu from an upmarket eatery. Interestingly enough, some restaurants have taken to publishing their on mini-magazine slash menu, and this newsletter channels that style perfectly.
Newsletter – MS Office Templates
Rather cheekily, Microsoft has named this free newsletter template simply “Newsletter”, but looking at it that might be appropriate. This is quite possibly the most newslettery-newsletter on this list.
All jokes aside, it’s a minimalist masterpiece. Text is neatly divided into efficient columns, with simple blocks of color and good font choices. It all comes together as the perfect generic newsletter. It’s even safe to change the default colors to whatever complementary shades you prefer. It won’t do anything to hurt the overall aesthetic.
If you want a template that gives you plenty of room to clearly tell multiple stories and don’t want to waste any time customizing it, this is the template for you.
There’s a saying that goes “the medium is the message”, which basically means that sometimes aspects of a medium become associated with the typical messages of a time and place.
Think about black and white films. When modern movie makers choose to make a film in black and white, it’s usually to evoke a sense of classic cinema. The people who made those classic cinema titles didn’t have a choice in the matter: color film hadn’t been invented yet.
Which brings us to this “black tie” newsletter. If you’re looking to create a newsletter for your literature club or other artsy endeavor, then this newsletter has exactly the right mix of legibility and classic handbill design to keep things classy.
As a bonus, you can cheaply print this design using a mono laser printer while losing nothing of the original charm.
The holidays are tough when you can’t get to see all the family you want to, but with a nice newsletter you can keep the extended relations informed of what’s been happening in your lives. Sure, people have Facebook and other social media now, but a personal newsletter has that much more sentimental value.
The problem is that looking through free newsletter templates with festive flair invariably means looking at incredibly ugly, garish designs. This template however, shows that you can keep the Santa without the Comic Sans and crayon art. It looks really classy, while still being filled with yuletide cheer.
Even better, you don’t have to think up topics to populate it with. The template includes detailed ideas for what to include in each section.
The above free templates from Microsoft are pretty easy to use. You simply have to download them as Word files and proceed as usual. While Brother has been nice enough to provide their newsletter templates for anyone to use, you also have to use their own online editor. Luckily it’s pretty straightforward and the resulting PDF is nice and crisp. Good for print or email.
This particular newsletter provides a lovely floral backdrop, with space for two photos, cropped into circular frames. The suggested use is for something like a spa or other wellness business, but this one-page newsletter design could be good for any “softer” enterprise that wants to spread some quick information around to interested parties.
It’s also eye-catching as a print flyer you can stack in-store or wherever people hang around and wait. Like a doctor’s office.
This is another corker from the Brother Creative Center. If you have or plan to have an AirBnB, then this is the perfect newsletter template to let people staying over know what’s available to do, and what the latest happenings are with your pad.
It’s also perfect as a newsletter to email to people who have signed your visitor’s book over the years. With an eye on enticing them back for another stay. Of course, your photography game needs to be on-point, but if you’ve got the pictures for it, this is the perfect template to slot them into.
This is one of two Adobe Spark newsletter templates on this list. Like the ones from Brother, you need to use Adobe’s own online editor. In addition, unless you have a paid subscription, you’ll have to put up with a tiny Adobe Spark watermark in the corner of your newsletter. It really isn’t obtrusive at all however and given how nice some of these templates are, it’s a small sacrifice.
Speaking of which, Hello Frost immediately caught our eye as the perfect template to show off your photography and let people know about the interesting places you’ve been and things you’ve seen.
Of course, the default template has been designed with winter/autumn colors, but you can change that in a jiffy. It’s artsy, but still very readable and makes for a great choice if you plan on making frequent small releases.
Do people even read anymore? Well, your friends do and they are just dying to hear what your latest thoughts are about the world of literature this week. If you want to evoke the smell and crackle of well-loved paper books, this template from Adobe Spark is just the ticket.
You could imagine Hemingway himself grunting in mild approval if this was found in his postbox. Although, ironically, this highly-legible layout is best suited to those who can be parsimonious with the verbiage. If you get what we’re saying.
Extra! Extra! Read All About it!
Wow, what a treasure trove of snazzy, free newsletter templates for every occasion. Tweak them to your taste and then enjoy the money you’ve saved on hiring a graphic designer, while making everyone think you’ve gone pro with your publication.
The actual writing is all on you however, we can’t help you with that.
