# IMAGE_PROMPT – Lohnarten

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Lohnarten = classification, structure, categories – "Bausteine der Lohnabrechnung" (building blocks of payroll). Wage types grouped into clear segments (Brutto, Netto, Statistik). Visual: organized compartments or structure suggesting order and categorization – not abstract bars.

## Key Elements (On-Theme)

- Organized desk with compartment tray or filing tray (empty sections, no labels) – conveys categories, classification
- Single pen, soft diffused light – professional payroll context
- Editorial photography, natural texture, lived-in feel – avoids generic AI look

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- **Avoid:** Abstract vertical columns, stacked blocks, single central bar – generic, overused, matches anti-patterns in style guide
- **Avoid:** "Tablet showing abstract blocks" – AI fallback
- **Distinct from:** Lohnnebenkosten (abstract stacked layers = cost structure); Lohnabrechnung (laptop + chart); Betriebsprüfung (blank papers/folders = audit)

## Composition / Camera

Wide shot with shallow depth of field – desk fills frame, soft background blur

## Mood / Atmosphere

Organized, professional, structured – conveys payroll clarity without literal documents
