Our Designers
The five partners who form Ready-Media together have nearly 100 years of experience in the design of magazines, newspapers and websites. Over the years they’ve helped to launch and recreate many of the most successful magazines in the world. For example: Rolling Stone, Tages Anzeiger (Zurich), Excelsior (Mexico City) and Bloomberg.com.
As Roger Black, Ready-Media’s president put it, “We’ve been moving steadily toward Full Template Design for years.”
“Media design” Black says, “is becoming more dynamic. We’re making systems for pages, not pages themselves.”
“It’s time to adapt the web technique of standard templates, stylesheets and set of layout rules to print and to all platforms,” says partner Eduardo Danilo.
"Ready-Media was formed to help our clients produce great design—and save resources at the same time,” says partner David Berlow.
