Tate Jukka and Pekka (2016) at Art of Research 2023 conference

about blurb or other easy fix solutions

ready-made templates are not design. 
they are equal to power point
lack the whole philosophy of design
The essence and the beauty of a book as an artefact is neglected
The printed object becomes a prostitute 
of peoples eagerness to make everything faster and easier, 
the biggest dilemma in this Attention Seeking Universe at this time. 
everything will look the same
nothing is unique
you can go blurb
creation of Visual Pollution at its best
Make mediation fast and easy
now. 

pretense
artificial
glossy
plastic
superficial
no taste
no aesthetics
no philosophy
