Partnerships
Fresh Design Journal considers collaborations that fit its design-literacy focus and are clearly useful to readers. We keep commercial messages distinct from independent editorial coverage.
Possible collaborations
We consider partner-supported explainers, clearly identified sponsored features, newsletter or article placements, and other relevant promotional arrangements. Proposals should explain the subject, audience, format, timing and intended claims, along with any product or service involved.
How material is labelled
Paid or partner-supported content is labelled where readers encounter it, using wording that makes the relationship clear. A label does not turn promotional claims into editorial findings. We may decline material whose claims cannot be presented responsibly or whose purpose is unclear.
Editorial boundaries
Partners do not choose the conclusions of independent articles or receive a promise of coverage. We do not describe a placement as independent editorial work. To propose a collaboration, use the Contact page and select the partnership option.
Good design makes choices visible
Fresh Design Journal looks beyond whether something seems appealing. We ask what it helps people do, what it asks them to notice and how its details shape the experience.
