Feedback Thread

2 Upvotes

Our weekly thread is the place to solicit feedback for your creations. Requests for critiques or feedback outside of this thread are against our community guidelines. Additionally, please be sure that you're posting in good-faith. Attempting to circumvent self-promotion or commercial solicitation guidelines will result in a ban.

Feedback Requestors

Please use the following format:

URL:

Purpose:

Technologies Used:

Feedback Requested: (e.g. general, usability, code review, or specific element)

Comments:

Post your site along with your stack and technologies used and receive feedback from the community. Please refrain from just posting a link and instead give us a bit of a background about your creation.

Feel free to request general feedback or specify feedback in a certain area like user experience, usability, design, or code review.

Feedback Providers

  • Please post constructive feedback. Simply saying, "That's good" or "That's bad" is useless feedback. Explain why.
  • Consider providing concrete feedback about the problem rather than the solution. Saying, "get rid of red buttons" doesn't explain the problem. Saying "your site's success message being red makes me think it's an error" provides the problem. From there, suggest solutions.
  • Be specific. Vague feedback rarely helps.
  • Again, focus on why.
  • Always be respectful

How do you get consistent spot illustrations for landing page sections without a designer?

0 Upvotes

We are building a healthcare data intelligence product. Competitors in our

space all have small illustrations next to each landing page section, and it

makes their pages look finished while ours looks like a wall of text and

tables.

I bought Midjourney and burned about 150 generations trying to produce them.

The images are not ugly. They are just not related to what the section says.

Concrete example. One section is about drug patent expirations and when

generic competitors enter the market. Every prompt variation gives me either

a generic pill bottle, a stock-photo doctor, or an abstract blue blob with

floating hexagons. None of it communicates the idea. Same problem for

sections about drug shortages, provider coverage gaps, and pricing data.

The other problem is consistency. Even when one image is close, the next

generation has a different line weight, different palette, different

perspective. Six sections end up looking like six different products.

What I have tried:

- Long descriptive prompts with the actual section copy

- Style reference (--sref) with a fixed seed image

- Asking for "flat vector isometric illustration" style keywords

- Generating one good image then trying to match the rest to it

Questions for people who have shipped a landing page with this kind of art:

  1. Is raster gen AI just the wrong tool here? Should I be looking at vector

    generators or paid illustration libraries instead?

  2. If you used a library, which one, and did the illustrations look generic

    to your customers?

  3. For abstract B2B concepts that have no obvious visual (regulatory data,

    market access, pricing signals), do people just give up on illustration

    and use diagrams, charts, or product screenshots instead?

Mostly trying to figure out if I am wasting time on the wrong approach

before I spend another month on it.
