About this template

This newsletter is dark from the start, which suits tech media, developer tools and gadget blogs. Near-black with cyan accents gives it a sharp, late-night feel.

The masthead and a thin cyan line open the issue. A glowing chip illustration leads into the top story with a short summary and a read button. Two more stories follow as picture and text rows that switch sides, so the page has rhythm. A quick links list collects four short items with one line each. Social icons and the footer close it.

Dark designs need care: keep body text light grey, not pure white, and test your logo on a dark background. Send it early in the morning, when many readers check news before work.
