True I.D. Stories · High-Tech Headlines
For 2013 we rolled out a new section, one that’s quickly become a reader favorite: True I.D. Stories, where industrial designers in our readership stepped forward (albeit anonymously) to tell their tales. What can go wrong for an industrial designer? The short answer is, lots.
First, “Newbie Designer” sounded off with “Off the Grid,” the tale of his first ID business trip. The newly-minted exhibit designer was flown across the country to oversee a store installation, and the trouble started nearly as soon as he got to the store.

Next, “Design Minion” told us his story of “Fun in the Sun.” The designer of recreational pleasure craft found no pleasure during his first, hellish, on-site product catalog photo shoot.

Then we got into epic tale territory, as “Good Ol’ Boy” took us through his multi-part adventure of going from useless, unskilled design grad to getting his dream ID job. It was by no means a straight line—this tale has more crazy twists and turns than a spy novel!
