I’m very excited about this project I have been working on, créer magazine. I spend a lot of time online digging through hundreds of design blogs and communities, and there is a lot of great stuff out there, but it takes so long to go through it all…

So I started thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if there was some kind of monthly publication dedicated to showcasing all the great designers online, who doing what, what they’re doing, and how there doing it?
I looked, couldn’t find anything other than more blogs…So, that’s when I decided I would do it myself!

I figured instead of blog I wanted to publish and online magazine every month that would fill this need. That’s when créer magazine was born!

The name créer is French for create, why a French name? Why not, I live in Montreal, besides aren’t design mags suppose to have French, Italian, or German names

Put simply, créer is an online magazine dedicated to serving the design community, specifically those who blog or who are considering setting up a blog. It is our goal to educate and inspire individuals from all walks of design.

Each month we will interview/showcase professional and student talent/profiles, provide insight on new trends, communities, and much more.

We have a great lineup of designers and writers for inaugural issue:
