Make stock images great again!
Uninspired by the stock imagery used by the media to depict cybersecurity, a graphic design group is offering cash prizes to anyone who comes up with something more original than dodgy hoodie-wearing laptop users with waterfalls of cascading 1s and 0s behind them.
Challenging the very foundations upon which El Reg's image library has been painstakingly honed by the finest and most sober minds* ever seen in the field of technology journalism, Open Ideo wants to pump cash at anyone who can shift the age-old stereotype of the hoodie hacker.
In a contest titled "How might we reimagine a more compelling and relatable visual language for cybersecurity?", the foundation urges "creators from diverse backgrounds" to apply their skill set to "this important work".
