WHY DO WE PROCRASTINATE//

A lesson we can't teach you to avoid but needs to be learnt.

HERALDING THE ANCIENT AND OTHERWORLDLY CHARM OF FUTURE MEDIEVAL GRAPHICS//

If you spend time in design-y circles of the internet, you may have already heard about Swedish electronics brand Teenage Engineering’s new release, the EP–1320 medieval: a synthesiser pre-loaded with hundreds of built-in medieval sounds like hurdy-gurdies, lutes, clashing swords, and yes, even a dragon’s roar (forget Brat summer; we’ve moved on to Gregorian chants). But the EP-1320 doesn’t just sound medieval — it looks the part too. With a blackletter LCD display, parchment-coloured body, and quilted carrying case, it wouldn’t feel out of place in a thatched hut. And that’s not even counting the synthesiser’s Kibbo Kift-meets-Jodorowsky launch video, plus a promotional microsite that resembles an illuminated manuscript more than a viral tech launch. Hark! Dost thou hearest something? ’Tis but the sound of a new graphic design trend: Ye Olde Future Medieval. MORE HERE
