The Designers Republic art panels shown in Colin’s office are pages from Emigre issue 29, an oversized design magazine that TDR famously took over and filled with a ton of (amazing, inspirational) Wipeout-era layouts and iconography. This issue became highly collectible due in part to Wipeout’s popularity and Emigre’s small publishing footprint – its presence in the Black Mirror episode, spread across multiple copies and bookended by the Wipeout 2097/XL “We Have Explosive” track during the credits, is like a set of rare trophies reflecting Brooker’s great taste in games and design.
