Rising Design Journal

Write for us

We welcome clear, original contributions about design thinking and creative process. A strong piece gives readers a useful way to frame a question, make a choice or learn from a stage of work, without relying on jargon or overstating what one example can prove.

Ideas that fit

Pitch explanations of creative methods, comparisons between approaches, design history that illuminates a current idea, or thoughtful accounts of feedback and revision. We look for a distinct subject, a defined reader benefit and advice readers can consider without specialist equipment or professional sign-off.

A useful pitch

Send a short summary of the proposed piece, its central point, the intended reader and the examples or sources you expect to use. Explain what makes the subject distinct from existing coverage. A working title is helpful, but a polished draft is not required for an initial proposal.

How to send it

Submit proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Please include any relevant links or notes in your message, but do not send confidential material. We cannot promise publication or a particular response time.

Our point of view

Design gets clearer when the question does

We focus on the choices behind creative work, not just its finished appearance. A clear question can make the next step easier to see.
