The latest identity issue from International designers Network (IdN) is "creator's id" and as the title suggests, the focus is on identity of designers.
Seven artists share the limelight in this edition, and are asked whether their branding/trademark style was deliberate, as well as the advantages or disadvantages, particularly when dealing with commercial work. The artists include: Oliver Kuntzel and Florence Deygass - France , Maki Kahori - Japan, Nagi Noda - Japan, Anthony Burrill - United Kingdom, Carrie Chau - Hong Kong.
