Conde Nast’s ‘Easy Living’ Redesign Looks Like Pinterest

Easy Living, the home design publication just launched a redesign that looks great – but it is very similar to Pinterest’s visual layout. The inspiration site has spurned a lot of knockoffs lately, but who would have guessed it would be copied by Conde Nast?
The eye-friendly design is actually a good fit for magazines, whose image-centric content often appears on Pinterest without permission anyway. Plus its easy to navigate, is a proven hit with women, and adapts seamlessly to a user’s screen.
The bottom line? Expect to see more Pinterest-esque layouts in the future. Paid Content reported that similar redesigns are in store for fellow Conde publications Vogue, Wired, and GQ in the near future.
