I.D. (magazine)
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. 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 (1995, 1997, 1999), one for Design (1997 ), and one for Special Interests (2000). 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.
