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).

Designers are the core audience of Readymag, but many other professionals use it to create their own versatile portfolios, presentations, moodboards, prototypes and editorials. To be of the most use, Readymag support not only helps with technical issues, they provide assistance with creative and design questions. In 2019, Readymag’s support service became trilingual: agents speak English, Russian, and Spanish. The Help section, which offers a comprehensive guide to Readymag, is also available in these three languages.

i believe it’s important to speak not only about renowned top-tier figures but also less recognized designers. most of them are people of thorny destiny, uncompromising, people with a particular life and artistic standpoint. —zhdan philippov, readymag creative consultant
