I.D. (magazine)


I.D. was a magazine covering the art, business, and culture of design. It was published eight times a year by F+W Media.

History

I.D. was founded in 1954 as Industrial Design. The name was later abbreviated to an initialism; in the 1980s, the initials came to stand for International Design to reflect the magazine's broadened scope.
Since 1954, the magazine published the Annual Design Review, a juried design competition curated by I.D. staff and industry practitioners.
I.D. won five National Magazine Awards: three for General Excellence, one for Design, and one for Special Interests.
The last issue of I.D. was published in January/February 2010.
In June 2011, I.D. magazine was re-launched online in partnership with Behance. The new I.D. magazine featured user-submitted designs that were curated to offer examples of innovative work happening today.
By March 2016, the magazine's website had been shut down.
