[sdiy] Designing front panels for synths

[Benjamin Tremblay]

Love it.
Neither “Digital Transformation UX” design nor “Laboratory Equipment” aesthetics make engaging isomorphic playthings.
(Although Laboratory Equipment has a certain Frankenstein kink to it.)

Just my personal opinion. I try to challenge the idea that there’s this great big perfect Synth God in the sky and all I can do is either emulate her or displease her.

Find your own weird love.
