It was announced recently that after 55 years of publication I.D. Magazine, the United States longest running product design magazine, would be closing. It will be missed, but the Annual Design Review, the prestigios design competition recognizing the best in product, furniture, graphic, and environment design, which has been an annual staple for I.D. since its inception will continue with results published online.
We weren’t able to locate a complete collection of covers (if you know where we can get ahold of those images let us know) so this is by no means a ‘best of’ ID magazine collection but rather a color tribute to this icon of the design world.
Read the goods about ID magazine here: industrial design magazine by Steven Heller (Allworth Press) & I.D. Magazine, 1954–2009 by Ralph Caplan.
