Thank you to @iodacasamia for giving the minimalism topic a go this challenge round. This one stood out the most for me this round and perhaps depicts order versus chaos or tidy versus messy best. Five Hive is headed your way.
With the topic prompts we try to give image creators an idea of what people might be writing about so that they can come up with an image they feel might depict this. It's not an easy task, but we recommend trying to put yourselves in the mind of the writer to try and imagine what they my be looking for.
How it works
The challenges will run every two weeks. Each round we will have a topic or two for our contributors to try their hand at. We invite everyone to give their feedback on any entries and the best one will win Hive. Meanwhile, we ask anyone who has been looking to use images to tell us what they are looking for in the comments on this post and these suggestions will be put forward as the challenge topics for future competitions, with the suggesting account added as a beneficiary of that challenge post. They will also be invited to judge any entries and pick their favourite submission. If they also choose to use a submission, then all the better. You don't have to be currently looking for images to suggest them, you can suggest anything you may have used or wanted to use in the past or that you think might be in demand.
We invite people to add an upvote to their favourite suggestions and this will play a part in which ones will be selected first for the next challenge.
This round's challenge topics will be:
1: Futuristic
2: First aid
3: Mind
Rules
- No plagiarism (obviously).
- Think quality. Will someone want to use your image if it's blurry or badly laid out? Low quality posts will be muted in the search feature
- Make sure you're tagging your submissions correctly.
- Make sure your images fall within legal restrictions for stock images.
- Submit your entry links in a comment on this post, so we don't miss it.
- All images are accepted, not just photographs, as long as they are your own.
We have Hive for the winning entries. All quality entries will be nominated for curation if they aren't already well rewarded. Votes will be given on all good suggestions for images, with the chosen suggestion/s added as a beneficiary on the next challenge post.
Are you looking for specific stock images to use? Please view the Stock Images Main index where you can search by alphabetical order genre. This will be updated periodically as more images are added. We also now have a search feature, which is being improved as we go, so please feel free to give feedback on it.
My entry for the "Mind" topic:

Super!
Would you accept AI generated images as long as the medium/platform is mentioned and the are free for commercial use?
Absolutely. Just be clear that they're AI generated and preferably even add a bit about how you created them and the thought process behind them, to help appease HiveWatchers and their 50% original rule.

Thank you!
I think this place (and a few others around) really offers challenges and practical help to the Hive community with the image archive.
It is inspiring to be able to create images by going along with the requests (often, really difficult especially creating 3D scenes).
And I have no intention of resorting to artificial images from "artificial intelligences." They add nothing to my work as they are not a personal product.
(If I use AI I don't get compliments, and if the image is ugly I don't get criticism. The result is not mine).
Well, I think the main reason is the lack of detail in the requests.
It represents the real challenge because you have to create images that are also usable by the community.
For example:
number 1. "Futuristic"...the first thing that comes to my mind is the most ordinary, the skyline of a megalopolis of the future. It would be a typical 3D scene and probably would be very usable for Hivers' blogs.
Yet would it be too obvious a choice?
number 2. and number 3. lead me to think of more abstract scenes but I am not sure for their usability, in the photo archive.
The real challenge. I hope to come up with something good.
Thanks again 😀
This is great feedback and I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you. I must have missed the notification.
Obvious choices are probably a good thing. I think we all get similar images come to mind when we blog about certain things, so that would likely be what we would look for.
With regards mind, you're right that I should probably have added something more to go with. I was hoping less would get people being more creative. 😉 I read a lot of posts which talk about the mind in regards mental health and psychology, so that's what made me put that topic prompt in.
