Readymag Design Workout

You can drag and drop everything on the page

DesignWorkout is a daily training program on creative thinking. Executing peculiar challenges helps collaborators to act boldly, make their own decisions and develop essential skills for rapid designing. Each task is unique.

Readymag is a tool helping to create interactive websites and online publications. With Readymag, you can draw up the design of your project, enhance it with multimedia and animations, see how the project will look on various devices, and publish it in one click. Subscribe to our newsletter to get more entertaining and useful news.

In the times of self-isolation, it's important to stay focused and fit. These tasks are little exercises in spontaneity and creativity, a fun 'work out' for brain and design thinking.

We encourage you to do at least some of these exercises in our editor — you will most definitely find out that it's a great tool for the job. Still, all the exercises are stand-alone and offer no limit to the medium — it can be anything from pencil and paper to tomatoes and mozzarella. Just stay home and keep safe.

Share your results on social media with the #designworkout hashtag.
