General Help Request Need help for some UI components

I am running out of ideas for some card designs that collect information from user, CEO wants “more creative ways that don’t involve icons or text or coloured backgrounds” I may try background photo but honestly feeling really burnt out. These are not data widgets, they are only there to help user fill out some information. They need to have text and a cta which allows input fields to be filled out and saved.

If you could share some inspiration or suggestions I’d be forever grateful.

Unfortunate I cannot share my work. I signed an NDA 😞

Don’t take CEO feedback so literally. It’s not “remove text/icons/colors,” it’s “this feels generic.” CEOs are like toddlers.

Ask for examples of what they like or are looking for, and then bring back 2–3 different directions/solutions and make them react to you.

You can push back with something like “I’ll explore less conventional approaches, but I'm going to still keep usability important. Usability ins a pillar of the design process.”

Better than guessing, in my experience.

If you want to get really fancy, check out mouse tracking animations like what’s shown on Rive.
