Artells Media - Get published, grow your Creator Score, get seen by clients

by•
Artells Media is the platform for creators: photographers, models, makeup artists, stylists, designers and digital artists. A profile and portfolio cost nothing. Submit series to five international print magazines, post to the weekly Open Feed, enter the monthly Awards (the top three get covers), write stories. Every publication, award and editors' pick grows your Creator Score, a reputation nobody can buy, and ranks you in Top Creators, where brands send briefs with a budget.

Hi, I’m Marina. I publish five independent print magazines, Artells, Artego, Marika, Figgi and Quadro, since 2019, and I’ve personally read about 200,000 submissions. Photographers, painters, illustrators, digital and AI artists, models, makeup and hair artists, stylists, jewelry and fashion designers, nail artists. Thousands of them have been printed in our issues over seven years, and that credit opened doors for them: first clients, agency contracts, exhibitions, a few visas.

For years I wanted every credit we give to live in one more place: a page the creator owns, next to everything else they’ve done, with a link any client can check and a score nobody can buy. Then this summer Instagram banned three of our magazines, seven years of readers gone by decision of a robot, and that settled it. We stopped building on rented land and built Artells Media.

What a creator gets here:

  1. A page that people, search engines and AI assistants can read: specialty, city, work, credits.

  2. Articles in the community are an opportunity to share information about yourself and your creative work.

  3. An open call to five print magazines. Inside pages cost nothing, a human editor answers in about a week, and everyone on the team gets the credit, the model and the makeup artist the same as the photographer.

  4. A weekly Open Feed with a theme every Monday; the editors mark what caught their eye and the mark stays on your page.

  5. Monthly Awards, no entry fee, blind jury, the top three go on a print cover.

  6. A Creator Score that only merit can move: publications, editors’ picks, Awards. Not likes.

  7. A verified link for every publication and award. A client, a gallery or an immigration lawyer checks it in one click. Brands and agencies can send you a brief with a budget through the site; your contacts stay hidden until you say yes.


    What’s paid, so nobody is surprised later: covers, which the editors offer only to series they want on the front, and PRO, which adds priority review, more entries and the door for briefs. Nothing you pay buys an acceptance or a point of score.

My bet: today people buy AI, tomorrow AI will be hiring the humans it can find and verify. The seed has to be in the ground before the harvest. For Product Hunt, a month of PRO on us with the code ARTELLSMEDIAPH:

I’ll be here all day. Ask me anything about running print in 2026, about the AI pile in our inbox, or about what 200,000 submissions taught me about why good work gets declined.
