Create a wide-format digital illustration that functions as a visual timeline, moving left to right from 1945 to 2025. On the left, depict grayscale post-war Netherlands with factories, coal smoke, and manual laborers rebuilding cities. Gradually transition into vibrant colors as time progresses: show offices with typewriters turning into open-plan digital hubs, cloud networks, and virtual meeting rooms. Integrate key symbols like the Marshall Plan, oil crisis, ESG reports, VR goggles, and AI dashboards. Feature human figures evolving from factory workers to hybrid employees using holographic tools. Include infographics subtly embedded: rising ESG curves, circular economy icons, and digital productivity stats. Style it like a New Yorker magazine cover meets an infographic spread from Wired, with touches of retro-futurism à la 1980s sci-fi book covers and the clean, editorial minimalism of The Economist. It should feel like a tribute to progress—optimistic, data-rich, and human-centered.
