# IMAGE_PROMPT: Kurzarbeit

**Last Updated:** 2026-02-21

## Scene Type

ABSTRACT. Distinct from betriebsvereinbarung (DESK), lohnarten (DESK), betriebsrat (CAFE). Topic: reduced work hours, temporary bridge – abstract calendar/schedule metaphor fits "less work, same job".

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Kurzarbeit = reduced hours, temporary, bridge – fewer filled blocks in a schedule, implied "less" without literal calendar dates.

## Key Elements (On-Theme, Concrete)

- Abstract calendar-grid or schedule-block shapes (no dates, no text)
- Fewer filled blocks than empty – conveys reduced hours
- Muted blues, warm accent, soft film-like quality
- No people, no desk, no documents with content

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- DESK – betriebsvereinbarung, lohnarten already use desk
- Abstract nodes, flowing lines, soft connected structure – generic
- Blue sphere, sundial, generic clock – overused
- Literal calendar with dates – invites text

## Composition / Camera

Bird's eye or diagonal; grid/schedule blocks as focal point, shallow depth of field.

## Mood / Atmosphere

Structured, transitional, professional

## Prompt

Editorial photography, natural texture, soft film-like quality. Abstract schedule or calendar-grid shapes (no dates, no text), fewer filled blocks than empty – conveys reduced work hours, temporary bridge. Muted blues, warm accent. Avoid: blue sphere, sundial, generic clock, floating pie chart, stock office with laptop, abstract nodes, flowing lines, pristine perfection, vertical columns, stacked blocks.
