2000may15. www.idonline.com. This is the online version of I.D. magazine (“The International Design Magazine”). I jumped on the net, pumped up with incredible enthusiasm about this month’s print version, but I remain somewhat in shock after quickly glancing at their paltry offerings online (and what gives with the horrid domain name?). Anyway, it seems as though I.D. is angling their publication more toward the general public, at least with this issue – definitely go and pick this month’s (“May”) up -- lots of interesting smaller design bits and things that have been riling me up lately:
electronic billboards
book designer irma boom
“smart kitchen” gadgets that prepare your food then have sex with you or each other
game show set design
pantone profile by tom vanderbilt
beds on planes
samsonite’s travel clothing
mechanical speed/stride-enhancing footwear (a must see! OSCARS for BIONIC BOOT!)
live motion
and more!
