The article is filled with jarring sentences like this:
"Rather than buying a notebook, you complete it—turning a passive object into an active, personal process."

This is the last paragraph from the main award: > It’s a design that sits between mass production and personalization, reflecting a world where individuality matters more than ever. Rather than buying a notebook, you complete it—turning a passive object into an active, personal process. This is a translation via translate.kagi.com from "LinkedIn speak" to English: > It’s a way to charge people for the privilege of assembling their own office supplies under the guise of "individuality." You aren't just buying a notebook; you're paying for the chore of finishing it so you can feel like you've had a "personal process" instead of just buying a damn notebook. Seems accurate; then again, I also own a nice notebook and a fountain pen and I enjoy using them, even if this is just me feeling like I have a personal process.
