# IMAGE_PROMPT – Kernarbeitszeit

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Kernarbeitszeit = fixed presence window within flexible Gleitzeit; the "core" time when everyone must be present. Visual: abstract time-structure – a fixed segment within a flexible band, or minimalist timer/progress ring (no digits) conveying a defined time window – not generic flowing shapes or tablet blocks.

## Key Elements (On-Theme)

- Minimalist progress ring or arc (no digits, no readable text) – conveys fixed time window within flexible day
- Soft desk surface or abstract background – professional, time-related context
- Muted blues, greens, warm accent – Ordio palette
- Editorial photography, natural texture – avoids generic AI aesthetic

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- **Avoid:** Flowing ribbons (Gleitzeit), tablet with schedule blocks (Arbeitszeitmodelle), generic wall clock
- **Prefer:** Timer/progress ring metaphor (per style guide for Industrieminuten) – time precision, fixed segment

## Composition / Camera

Wide shot with shallow depth of field – progress ring or time-structure element as focal point, soft background blur

## Prompt

CRITICAL: No text, letters, typography, signs, or readable content in the image.
Professional featured image for a German HR blog about Kernarbeitszeit (core working hours – fixed presence window within flexible Gleitzeit).
Style: Editorial photography, natural texture, soft film-like quality. Muted blues, greens, warm accents. Lived-in feel – not pristine or sterile.
Scene: Minimalist progress ring or arc (no digits, no numbers) on soft desk surface or abstract background – conveys fixed time window, defined presence period. Natural morning light with subtle shadows. Recognizable professional setting. Wide shot with shallow depth of field.
Avoid: blue sphere, sundial shape, generic wall clock, floating pie chart, flowing ribbons, tablet with blocks, glowing center, circuit-like lines, stock office with laptop, pristine perfection, spotless desk, unnaturally smooth surfaces, generic stock photo aesthetic.
