Spotted this issue of Emigre magazine (Issue 29 · 1994, guest designed by The Designers Republic) in the background of an episode of Black Mirror (S7 E4).
This warped my 13-year-old brain when it came out.
Had to dig my copy out of storage. So good.

When I interview undergraduate candidates for the design program I teach in, I ask if they play(ed) with Legos. Whether they did or not doesn't matter, but if they say yes and launch into an enthusiastic monologue describing their process and what they love about Legos, it does.
An analysis of the UX of Lego interface panels. “Armed with 52 different bricks, let’s see what they can teach us about the design, layout and organisation of complex interfaces.” [interactionmagic.com]

LEGO interface panels are beautiful, iconic, and great for learning interface design basics. I bought 52 of them from BrickLink to explore the design, layout and organisation of complex interfaces.
