• {{target_audience}}: Who the email is for, to tailor design choices.
• {{email_goal}}: The primary action you want recipients to take (e.g., click, purchase, read).
• {{existing_templates}}: If you have current templates, describe them for analysis.

Instructions

2. Based on the provided brand guidelines, suggest a layout that highlights the key message and call-to-action.
3. Recommend specific design elements: color palette, typography, image placement, and whitespace.
4. Ensure the design is mobile-responsive and accessible (e.g., alt text, contrast).
5. If existing templates are provided, critique them and suggest improvements.

Output format Provide a structured set of recommendations with sections: Layout, Color Palette, Typography, Imagery, Mobile Optimization, and Accessibility. Include a brief rationale for each recommendation.
