STLLUG - October 17, 2024

Create a visually appealing image for a blog post titled 'Automated Code Review'. Background should be a subtle gradient from a soft teal to a dark navy blue to represent the levels of complexity in automated code review processes. Overlay an abstract digital grid or circuit board pattern, symbolizing the mechanisms of code review. Incorporate logos of ESLint, Prettier, SonarQube, and Travis CI or Jenkins, using appropriate metaphoric embellishments to signify their roles. Add an abstract code snippet flowing through a funnel or pipeline to denote transformation from raw to refined code. Use grid-like highlights or light beams for emphasis and maintain a color scheme of teal, navy blue, light grey and white with vibrant accents of yellow or green to represent success.

SLUUG - October 11, 2023

Create a clean and modern image with high-contrast color palette primarily using shades of blue, grey and accents of green. The image aspect ratio should be either 16:9 or 4:3. The image should provide a sleek tech-themed background with gradient from dark blue to black serving as a base. In the center, feature a stylized microchip hovering above an icon representing a miniature single-board computer. To the left side of the microchip, place a symbol representing a global semiconductor company. On the right side of the single-board computer icon, include a shield symbolizing network security. Add subtle details like scattered, tiny glowing dots mimicking the lights on networking hardware and thin lines connecting various elements, giving an impression of networked technology. Aim for an aesthetic that would resonate with technological enthusiasts, even without using any text.

SLUUG - July 13, 2022

Create a sleek, modern interface showcasing a dark theme design. The background should use shades of black, grey, and white, with grid lines representing structured organization. An abstract representation of branching is the central visual. Lines and nodes are to be used to create multiple branches converging and diverging, symbolizing the concept of version control. A large generic logo, similar to that used by Git, is prominently displayed in the center. Lesser known hosting platforms' logos, represented by a fictitious octopus logo and a tanuki logo, are positioned in the top corners with another logo near the bottom. Subtle use of circuit patterns or faded coding snippets should be integrated into the back drop for an added technological theme.

STLLUG - May 19, 2022

Create an image with a gradient background transitioning from dark blue at the top to light blue at the bottom. Place a prominent logo in the center of the image. The logo should be white and resemble a loop that intersects itself in two places. Surround this logo with smaller, simplified icons: a stack of servers on the top left, a browser window with a gear on the top right, a network flow icon on the bottom left, and a whale on the bottom right. Connect these icons to the central logo with thin, light blue dashed lines. Add subtle shadow effects to the icons and the central logo to create a sense of depth. The color scheme should be consistent, with the icons outlined in white or light blue and accentuated with dark blue.

SLUUG - April 14, 2021

Create a dark-themed futuristic tech interface acting as the background. The palette should be filled with deep blues, blacks, and purples simulating a modern, technological aesthetic. At its center, incorporate a slightly tilted BASH logo. Surround the logo with semi-transparent, holographic-style flowcharts and command trees, representing shell functions, emanating a soft glow. To complement these, scatter smaller neon effect icons. These icons should symbolize terminal prompts, time control via clock symbols, calendar icons (for the day-of-week concept), and server figures. The overall lighting and effects should present a three-dimensional quality, with light flares, reflections, and gentle illumination emanating from the icons and flowchart. The whole design should resonate with the theme of the presentation and highlight the potential of BASH customizations.
