The Ultimate Cold Email Guide

[Format] Landscape 16:9 gig cover, photo-realistic cut-out over a blurred office interior with a bright green border. Polished commercial finish, no watermark, no personal names. [Layout] A bearded man occupies the left two-fifths of the frame, waist-up, in front of a softly blurred modern office with ceiling coffers and large windows. A thick bright-green border runs around the entire cover. Centered in the right half is a white-outlined rectangular plate with the headline and a Gmail icon; the plate overlaps the man slightly. The headline block sits at roughly chest height, tilted very slightly to feel dynamic. [Subject] A bald man with a full beard and black-rimmed glasses, wearing a black leather jacket over a light blue button-up shirt. He points at the headline plate with his right hand while giving a thumbs-up with his left, waist-up, chest angled toward the viewer, direct eye contact, even indoor lighting. [Headline] Inside the white-bordered rectangle, a white Gmail envelope icon sits on the left, followed by "COLD" in large bold white sans-serif capitals on the top line and "EMAILS" in the same face on a bright green rectangular slab below it. The green slab spans the width of the word, creating a two-line lockup. [Badges] The Gmail mark: a rounded-square envelope icon with red, blue, green, and yellow segments, placed to the left of "COLD". No other badges. [Mood] Bright green, white, and office neutrals. High-energy, sales-driven, and direct; the pointing gesture and bold block type read clearly at thumbnail size.
