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 Interest (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.
