bringing stories to life

Animation is one of Readymag’s core features, supporting truly dynamic content and helping users create engaging visual narratives without third-party tools. That lures both independent designers and larger media companies: The Huffington Post, Esquire, Conde Nast and Forbes have all used Readymag to share big content projects and news stories. “Being from a newspaper and editorial background, I’m really into multimedia. When I checked out Readymag, I was like: ‘This is it. This is what we need to wow the audience with something visual’,” tells Scottish journalist Fraser Morton, who runs an independent magazine A Life Electric.

 

we don’t have a brand-guide summing up our style or spelling out its core features. and we probably never will have one—our style is very dynamic and fluid, so largely unwritten. —stas aki, product designer at readymag

Readymag aims to spark creativity for its users in many ways. “When working with the Readymag interface, I keep in mind that it should be functional and visually pleasing, so that it inspires users to make good designs,” Stas Aki says. Readymag also looks back at each year’s most beautiful creations through our Projects of the Year contest. In 2019, public voting chose four winners: Peter Lindbergh (editorial), Here and Now (event), Studio Cronica (portfolio), and BlkBlkLtr (landing).
