Midjourney: In a cyberpunk style, imagine a grand university building representing the central team in charge of SEO, with various departments as smaller, distinct architectural elements around it. Show these departments connected to the main university structure with bridges or roads, but with varying levels of resources indicated by the strength or brightness of these connections. Illustrate the favoritism by showing some departments receiving a stronger or brighter resource 'flow' from the central university structure. Some others should have just a basic connection, representing basic support. The inadequacy of resource allocation to SEO should be symbolized by a faint, under-constructed path or bridge leading from the university to an SEO symbol - perhaps a magnifying glass or a search engine logo. Now depict a standalone department, separated from the central structure, managing its own resources. Show this structure as slightly smaller but glowing brightly, representing the advantage of autonomy. The individual department should be connected directly to the SEO symbol with a strong, bright pathway, indicating more focused attention on SEO compared to those under centralized control.
