''ReadyMade'' (or ''Ready Made'') was a bimonthly magazine which focused on do it yourself (DIY) projects involving interior design, making furniture, home improvement, sewing, metalworking, woodworking and other disciplines. It also focused on sustainable design, independent music and DIY culture. The magazine was marketed to people who enjoy creating unique items to have at home and wear, and featured projects which could often be completed with everyday materials, such as household items. ''ReadyMade'' was founded by chief editor Shoshana Berger and publisher Grace Hawthorne in Berkeley, California. The inaugural issue was published in Winter 2002, with quarterly issues produced until the magazine moved to bimonthly issues with the March/April 2004 publication. In 2006, the Meredith Corporation purchased the magazine.〔 In January 2009, Meredith announced it was relocating the magazine's creative staff to Des Moines, Iowa due to company-wide budgetary concerns (though the ''ReadyMade'' title itself was reportedly successful).〔 None of the editorial staff chose to relocate, and ''Better Homes and Gardens'' executive editor Kitty Morgan assumed editorial duties for ''ReadyMade'' on an interim basis.〔 On June 16, 2011, ''ReadyMade'' announced on its blog that Meredith had discontinued the magazine. ==Subjects== Unlike more traditional home improvement magazines and how-to books, ''ReadyMades projects were aimed at a younger (21–39) audience. Projects in their issues included: * making a lamp out of a cd spindle * altering a car stereo to accept an iPod input jack * instructions on how to run for local office in the United States * recycling broken speakers to become light fixtures, coffee tables, or bookcases and similar projects with an emphasis on creating an urban indie aesthetic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ReadyMade (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
