This Just In: I.D. Magazine Folds

Get the hard egg nog ready, design fans, because we bring you some of the gloomiest tidings of the year: international design magazine I.D.—not to be (although all too often) confused with the British fashion magazine i-D—is no more. As followers of the UnBeige Twitter feed learned only seconds after it was announced this afternoon, F+W Media has closed 55-year-old I.D., which covered the art, business, and culture of design. The January/February 2010 issue will be the magazine’s last.
