The nation's oldest product design magazine has stopped production after 55 years. ID Magazine is a recipient of five National Magazine Awards for design, overall excellence and special interests.
ID's Annual Design Review is the nation's oldest and largest design competition operating since 1954. This competition also brought a majority of the company's revenue. But apparently the magazine has not earned a profit in seven years. The magazine has reportedly suffered from the increasing interest in "glossy design magazines". In addition, online magazines such as Core 77, MocoLoco, Designboom, and Dezeen has left ID behind in the dark ages of print.
Even though ID will cease their monthly publications, their sister publication Print will stay open and F+W Media Design Group will continue to host the Annual Design Review.
