Green Edition

In 1992, the Jacksonville, FL USA arts organization A City of Expression published its final issue of iD Magazine, known simply as The Green Edition.  It was the finest of the three iDs published before the
organization disbanded and was truly a diamond in the rough.

The Green Edition of iD Arts Magazine Jacksonville is returning soon enough and will be teamed with the Explosion of the Arts III street arts festival. There is a global plan behind this, but we are only concerned with the Jacksonville event that will most likely explode at Hemming Plaza or The Jacksonville Landing.

A big white flag waving to leaders of our world as Miss iD requests that we all give it up and let go.  Be prepared to experience the healing effects of the arts and take comfort in the fact that green is peace.  iD Arts Magazine Jacksonville's Green Edition will contain green poetry, short stories, tons of artwork and artsy messages, and much more and will be sold for $3.00 US dollars locally. All monies earned help us throw arts events like the A City of Expression Explosion of the Arts III.

iD Magazine started as a printed publication and the Red and Green Editions were printed on 8.5" x 14" paper folded in half to form the perfect coffee table sized keepsake.   The wrap-around cover design of the old Green Edition was created by the very talented Ronnie Land from Jacksonville.   He has been asked to create the wrap-around cover of the new Green Edition. Who knows what will come out of this man's head?

Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world that is an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere. The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology. However, there is an "institutional" side to green, associated with illness or Government-issued that conjure up negative emotions as do the "slimy" or bilious greens.
