STLLUG - February 16, 2023

Create an image with a gradient background that transitions from a vibrant shade of red, symbolizing contrast, to a bright yellow, symbolizing creativity and ideas. In the center, depict a contrasting scene split into two; one side with sharp, high-contrast colors and bold lines, the other with soft, blended hues. Add repetitive motifs or patterns across the image, possibly arranged in grids or orderly sequences for alignment. Ensure some elements overlap, breaking the conventional rules. Showcase proximity by clustering elements in one section, with others spaced apart. Along the border or corners, incorporate small, subtly blended logos of design technologies such as a vector design icon, collaborative design process icon, open-source design tool icon, and image editing icon. Add abstract design aids like dashed lines, arrows, waves, and curves, leading the viewer's eye through the image. In the background, lightly sprinkle creativity symbols like stars or light bulbs.

SLUUG - February 8, 2023

Create a minimalist, technically-oriented image. The backdrop consists of a gradient blend transitioning from soft blue to white. In the center of the image place a large, open folder icon that represents dotfiles, with semi-transparent overlays of icons for typical files such as .bashrc, .vimrc, and .gitconfig. On the left side of the folder, place the YADM logo, and on the right side the Git logo, indicating their synonymous relationship, connected by arrows. Add subtle, dotted lines linking these logos to various dotfiles, suggesting syncing and alteration capabilities. Dispersed around the central folder, include small icons representing different operating systems like Linux Tux, BSD Daemon, to hint their use across different systems. Maintain original colors for YADM, Git, and system logos for authenticity, while arrows and dotted lines can be light grey or blue to keep the visual balance without overwhelming the key elements.

STLLUG - January 19, 2023

Design an image to be used for a blog post with a cybersecurity theme. The main visual component is a dark, abstract tech-themed background meant to evoke a sense of mystery and security. Incorporate the PowerShell logo prominently at the top or center, and represent the Empire with an abstract icon, such as a stealthy figure or a hacker silhouette. On one side, subtly integrate an icon representing a GUI or dashboard, signifying Starkiller. At the top left corner, include the Kali Linux dragon logo, subtly blended into the design. Along the bottom, integrate abstract representations of operating system logos, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, to highlight cross-platform compatibility. The image should also feature circuit-like designs or lines, shadows and gradient effects for added depth and a high-tech feel.

Design a sleek, dark-themed blog image. The background should display a subtle gradient from dark blue to black, with slight inclusions of a world map and a modern shield icon with a lock symbol for security representation. In the center, create an abstract image of a semi-transparent terminal window, slightly tilted, showcasing code snippets. On either side of the terminal window, include minimalist line-art styled icons inspired by communication and debugging tech tools. The left icon should match the terminal theme colors while the right icon can remain its recognizable blue yet blended well into the dark theme. Edge the image with scattered binary codes or data flow lines to add a high-tech feel. Note: the image should be high-resolution, clean, and without any text.

At the center of the image, visualise an abstract digital brain with glowing neural network lines radiating outward in vibrant colors like blues and neon greens, symbolising ChatGPT and artificial intelligence. Orbiting this brain, arrange smaller icons evenly, depicting a modern smartphone with a glowing screen, a circuit-studded microchip, a minimalistic palette with artistic swirls conveying DALL-E image generation, a cloud-like diffusion graphic signifying Stable Diffusion, and a globe with interconnected lines representing the Internet. Set all of this against a dark blue background, subtly speckled with white and light gray digital patterns or circuit designs. Distribute small logos of related technologies such as OpenAI and Intel, blending seamlessly into the digital mesh. Strive for an engaging, sleek and modern look synonymous with technological advancement, effectively encompassing the subject of the blog post presentation.
