Improve Images #8

images aren't working: too literal, and "cool" tones convey different emotions than we want, banner makes shape of heart sign which doesn't fit message, two-fingers touching like God/Adam implies philosophical statement

Hi @grwim @alo9507 -- let's create a "mood board" of sorts before trying out in the code. Maybe add 5-10 image ideas in this thread across different styles and themes. Could also add websites in similar space to ACRO.

RE "cool tones convey different emotions than we want": We want a more energetic color palette to convey action / urgency, correct?

@alo9507 - the copy here is indicative of the emotion we want to convey: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IRpHOqBOfTPPbMUjD0d57awH1_KX3XffycUm15_KMQI/edit

Two patterns that may be useful - so long as hue-shifting a vector graphic is feasible: https://stock.adobe.com/search/images?load_type=search&is_recent_search=&k=abstract+background&native_visual_search=&similar_content_id=&acp=1&aco=abstract+&asset_id=126086229

Keeping in mind we’re not attempting a full branding project, the trick with ACRO will be resonating with both industry/business association members and consumers (advocacy, certification), etc. So yes to the “energy” component but ideally balanced with “trust”, “friendly”, and “playful”. Some possibly related brands off the top of mind: https://source.android.com/setup/start/brands https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/trademarks/trademarks.html https://www.anki.com/en-us https://www.irobot.com/about-irobot/company-information ….maybe

I like the abstract background ideas. Some additions to check out: https://www.templatemonster.com/blog/free-background-generators/ https://vincentgarreau.com/particles.js/ http://qrohlf.com/trianglify/

@grwim @alo9507

Revisiting this issue — are we good with the “network” image background, or would you like to put a little more time into discussing and working on this?
