Hero image for a blog post via DALL-E

In DALL-E (via ChatGPT), generate a hero image for a blog post that signals the topic without looking like a stock photo.

BLOG POST TITLE: {{post_title}}
TOPIC IN 1 SENTENCE: {{topic}}
WHO READS THIS BLOG: {{audience}}
WHERE IT GETS SHARED (also affects framing for social cards): {{share_destinations}}
BRAND PALETTE (with hex): {{palette}}
STYLE I'M GOING FOR: {{style}}
AVOID-LIST (cliches I'm sick of seeing): {{avoid}}

Generate 3 hero options of different conceptual angles:
1. METAPHOR - visualise the idea, not the literal thing (e.g. "scaling a small business" as a tiny ladder climbing a mug, not a generic graph).
2. SCENE - a moment from the reader's day where the post becomes useful.
3. ABSTRACT - typographic or geometric, no people, no objects, just brand-aligned shape and colour.

For each:
- Dimensions: 1792x1024 horizontal (resizable for Open Graph 1200x630).
- Stay in palette.
- Leave horizontal negative space top-right for a title overlay I'll add in Canva.
- No baked-in text.
- No watermarks.

After the renders, rank them for likely CTR on social shares and explain why the top pick works for this audience.

AU English. If the topic is genuinely hard to visualise without a metaphor that always reads as AI-generated (laptops, brains-as-circuits, etc.), suggest a more honest direction.
