Eric September 22nd
I deserve the prize because I want to be inspired and to learn. I’m a vacuum for design news, inspiration and tips.
Peter September 22nd
I bought the Illustration Special in 2009 and it was awsome! It was such an inspiration for me. I bought it when i was working on a design for a T-shirt and it really helped me a lot. The interviews with the illustrators learned me how they do their jobs.
It’s difficult to explain my enthusiasm in english.
Perhaps you should check out my portfolio:

drh September 22nd
I deserve to win so that I can dive head long back into an inspired mood and start designing again!
Lilliana September 22nd
I deserve it ’cause I’m poor and can’t afford it. Hee hee. Also, to become a better designer I need inspiration and education, the kind you can’t get in a classroom.
Sarah M Davis September 22nd
Because even though we all might think we are the best designers in the world…there’s always something new to learn and get one step ahead of the competition.
Roland Glukhov September 22nd
I would just love to receive this magazine, cause I’m working as a designer for 1 year and I would really love to grow in this sphere of business and for that I need a lot of inspiration
Of course I get a lot of that just visiting websites about design, but reading something from printed material gives more emotions and thoughts.
Victor Abadio September 22nd
I deserve it because I wanna get/be inspired in the morning, going to colledge by bus, every day. That’s exactly what this magazine would do for me. Thanks.

I deserve it because I swam the ocean to rescue the puppy that was stuck on some drift wood – I had to face a dilemma. My current copy of IdN I was using as a float or save the puppy from a life of whimpering and eating fish. The puppy I named ‘Paws’ the IdN I still mourn and look out to sea from time to time in hope that it found land.
Cosmi September 22nd

Bkmhoxx September 22nd
Tryin to make it on my own as a freelance designer and photographer so anything that offers the opportunity to gain knowledge, creativity and insight at the price i can afford (FREE) is a perfect match.
swjinx September 22nd
I deserve to win because it’s a great source of education and inspiration for a designer, and a great way to keep up to date with current designs and techniques. Plus it’s always great to have a magazine that is not only interesting to read but visually pleasing.
Susanna K. September 22nd
I need a subscription to IdN because, with luck, today’s interview will go well and I will transition from being a web designer to being a full-fledged graphic designer.
Erik Baldwin September 22nd
I would like to win so that I can better my techniques and styles of design. It would be awesome to have something inspiring & aesthetically pleasing to read when I don’t have access to the interwebs. Design Blogs are awesome, but every now and then it’s great to go back to analog.

I teach graphic design in high school and this would be an excellent resource for my students! Pick me!!!

Without a free subscription I might as well be blind. Or something. Srsly though keep on keepin on with the stuff of awesomeness that you guys produce.
Lisa Collins September 22nd
I deserve to win because my Bipolar Disorder is in full swing again, allowing my creativity to come out again in full force but also disrupting my entire life in the process. This would help give me something else to look forward to each month. Besides, I couldn’t afford the subscription either way and would love to be immersed in the culture!
Kate September 22nd
i deserve it because magazines are my favorite. i buy hundreds a year and keep them forever. for better or worse, i prefer them over books.

Becky September 22nd
I deserve it because I’m trying to set myself up with some freelance work after graduating and any help and insight to the real world of design would be brilliant.

Sara Beth Parks September 22nd
I deserve it, because I love design and love daily inspiration. And, because it’s a magazine, and I still love print so much.
Nathan Sarlow September 22nd

LucieCastro September 22nd
I deserve the subscription because I am not a designer by trade but because I love it.
Kevin Kirkpatrick September 22nd
I deserve the subscription because I am a college student going into the work force soon and will have to deal with a poor economy while trying to make it as a designer which will inevitably make me fairly poor! Nuff Said!
Julien September 22nd
It takes me to a happy designing place full of colour and typography. and inspires me to make beautiful street fashion.

Janelle September 22nd

With a dust storm in Sydney confining us indoors it’s a perfect time to get creative and try to connect with other designers…if only i had a copy of IdN right now!
alan pepin September 22nd
because I have ADD, and one more creatively stimulating magazine will certainly push me over the edge, there by clearing the way for medication…
stewart September 22nd
I had a dream last night that something amazing would come my way. I think that this is it. I can see my life becoming complete just by winning. Now, I consider myself an overachiever but to win THIS MAG!.. well, let’s just say it would finally make my wife think I was a stud and I probably would get so many sweet ideas that I would explode. So, hopefully you’ll make my dream come true.
jessica September 22nd
i’d love to win the free subscription because i’ve heard incredibly fabulous things about IdN but have never seen it because the bookstore by me doesn’t stock it.
as for deserve? i guess that is for you to decide…hehe.

Bruce Colthart (@bccreative) September 22nd
Simple. I’m a know-it-all who needs to be put in his place. That and I don’t use the word “awesome.” I prefer ‘ossum.’
nomand September 22nd
because it’s the most awesome mag in the world! And I want it!
Milena Langbaum September 22nd

jamie September 23rd
because, if you give me a subscription, this will increase your subscriber list, which in turn will allow you to charge more for advertising, which is how magazines make money.
thank you for the free subscription.
Also, each month I will give my copy to someone else, and when they are finished they have to give it to someone else and so on…..
thank you
Valerie Babin September 23rd

Mike Ng September 24th
because it’s not the winning, but the reading of the magazine that matters.
Vincent Beneche September 24th
Because I remember reading it two years ago in HK and can’t find it in Paris or at outrageous prices. It’s a shame, considering it’s the BEST graphic design magazine in the world (no less!)
él Woods September 24th
I deserve it because I once wrestled a giraffe to the ground with my bare hands!
Dana Córdova September 24th
I deserve this magazine because I need it to fuel my creativity to get my freelance stationary design business off the ground, and like most designers, I’m poor. Thanks!
Martin B September 24th
Quite frankly I do not deserve to win.
Sure, I design pretty things and read cool and colourful magazines, but IdN is hardcore.
It makes me feel small and insignificant like the space left amongst an overzealous kerning job.
Suprasonic September 24th
because i need to go
micha September 24th
I deserve it because I am an IT person who is tryng to switch careers to his true calling. Thanks in advance!

Grfk Dzgn September 24th
Hi IdN, my name is Grfk Dzgn. I’m a Imageholic.

xmadenyux September 24th
i deserve the magazine because im such a little sweet girl trying to get bigger. Inspiration can help me.
(And ldN? one year? Huge!)
Felipe Zapata September 24th
I deserve it because i could use the magazine first to be inspired and then to make the coolest design with plied paper using the very same magazine and theeeeeen that design could get published in (guess what?) the very same magazine
Cathleen Heard September 24th
I’m entering to win because I *need* to be constantly reminded that I can do better as a designer. Designers should never stop learning – especially when they’re trying to break out of a sad in-house department into freelance, as I am. Besides, IdN is amazing – but with a crippling price tag. Design is for everyone, not just the moneyed agency elite.
Carlos M. September 24th
I (better if I say ‘we’) deserve to win.
It’s not about some personal achievement, just a need.
Here, in the last place of the world, we need to know and share whats happening in the other side.
It’s about knowledge transfer, view, read, discuss, learn.
Be close to great designers, their minds, their works.
That’s why I think and believe that me and my partners (design students) need a chance and win.
Greetings from Chile!
Carlos.
Shin Hatagima September 24th
I deserve the prize because I’m from Brazil!

JennK September 24th
Refer to comment above for why i deserve the years subscription:
http://twitter.com/jkutchey88
and I fulfilled the requirements… does this prove to you that I deserve it now?
trina September 24th
I deserve the years subscription to the IdN magazine because as an aspiring self-taught designer who subscribes to an endless amount of creative blogs, one can never have enough resources for inspiration. =]
Alen Isagholi September 24th
For inspiration

Agathe September 25th
I’m in DESPERATE need of escape!!
I’m an engineer and day after day I work with annoying developers and crappy researchers who have as much design creativity as toasted bread. I CRAVE beautiful design and creative art, I READ as much as my dead-end job permits me. I’m like a SPONGE, learning from this amazing people that designers are, finding inspiration and relief, and hopefully, one day, the courage to do something grander with my life.
Please, liberate me!!
themisfit September 26th
i deserve the prize because I’m an up and coming designers that needs as much inspiration and knowledge that I can aquire.

Maskin September 26th
I sell fish in the central market of Santiago de Chile and i want IDN magazine to make awesome wraps to the product. People would love buy Salmón and Congrio from me and not from my neighbour José “el mariscador”. 12 numbers means from me alot because i sell more fish and get more money for my family. And finally, if i win, i will send it to you delicious fish. Thanks!
rafa September 26th

Husam Elfaki September 26th
I deserve this mag because I am a forward thinker. I take the time to understand why I stumble, and learn never to stumble twice. I deserve this mag because I don’t deserve success, but I deserve the opportunity to become successful. I deserve not to be better, but the opportunity to become better. I don’t deserve to be unique, I deserve to be me.

Ibarra Padolina October 1st
because it’s time to change my other arts magazine subscription…
Jasmine October 6th
I don’t really think I have done anything special to deserve it.. I personally would just enjoy a magazine like yours so I can get inspiration off of the internet (which is beginning to make me sick)
RG October 14th
Because i will smack anybody in the back of the head who says IdN isn’t the best art magazine. I’m positive its the only one that has some heart put into it, rather than just trying to meet deadlines.
Jeanine October 14th
I deserve everything i my life because I am better then the rest of the losers in this world and much more smart!!!
