I.D. (The International Design Magazine) was a magazine covering the art, business, and culture of design. It was published eight times a year by F+W Media.[1] [2]

History

I.D. was founded in 1954[3] [4] 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.[5]

Since 1954, the magazine published the Annual Design Review, a juried design competition curated by I.D. staff and industry practitioners.[6]

I.D. won five National Magazine Awards: three for General Excellence (1995, 1997, 1999), one for Design (1997), and one for Special Interests (2000).[7] [8]

The last issue of I.D. was published in January/February 2010.[9] [10]

In June 2011, I.D. magazine was re-launched online in partnership with Behance.[3] 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.
