This is ‘The Future Issue’ for Spring 2026, taking a bold look ahead from an increasingly uncertain present. Unsurprisingly, debates around AI feature heavily in the opinions section: Sean Monahan shares his view that AI will usher in a return of human intuition in trend forecasting, Wayne Deakin argues that, in the ‘age of AI’, brand guidelines must cater to both humans and machines, and three experts debate the importance of human input in AI output.
On the cover, atmospheric artwork from photographer Josh Greet accompanies a discussion of his career-altering personal project ‘Phenomena’, inspired by folkloric tales from Dartmoor, featured inside this edition. Elsewhere, Mark Sinclair takes a peek behind the scenes at the new Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration in London ahead of its opening in May, Rebecca Fulleylove explores ‘Why brands still struggle to talk to women’, and many more features and interviews attempt to imagine what the future holds.
