Innovation (magazine)

Innovation was a magazine published by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). It served as a quarterly publication focusing on the practice, theory, and history of industrial design. It aimed to provide a platform for professional designers, academics, students, and others interested in the field to share insights, research, and perspectives on design trends, methodologies, and the impact of design on society.

The magazine typically featured articles, case studies, interviews, book reviews, and announcements relevant to the industrial design community. It often explored topics such as user-centered design, sustainability, design ethics, emerging technologies, and the business of design.

Innovation magazine provided a valuable resource for staying informed about current issues and developments within the field of industrial design and served as a record of the evolution of the profession. Its archive offers a significant historical resource for researchers and practitioners. The magazine ceased publication in print form in recent years, transitioning to a more digital presence through IDSA’s online platforms.
