YAMS fam, ever made a great brand photo… then covered your face with the headline? 😂 Let’s build the space for your message INTO the image. Use the prompt below as a practice exercise for a website hero image, newsletter banner, service introduction, etc. 📸 SETUP Upload a clear photo of yourself or the version of you you'd prefer to show to the public, to an the Ai platform you like using the most. Replace the two bracketed details, then paste: 👇🏽 COPY + PASTE Use my attached photo as the identity reference. Create one photorealistic landscape 16:9 workspace brand image. Preserve my facial structure, age, skin tone, eye color, hairline, hairstyle and body proportions. Do not beautify, slim, age or redesign me. Seat me at a light oak desk in a warm minimal creative studio, wearing [your casual outfit]. Place me on the RIGHT half of the frame, with an uncluttered [your light brand color] wall filling the LEFT third as quiet space for a headline I will add later. Do not generate the headline. Use an eye-level medium-wide view, showing my head, torso and desk with breathing room. Turn me slightly toward the camera with relaxed shoulders and a gentle closed-mouth smile. Rest one hand naturally on an open blank notebook and the other flat on the desk beside it. Include one slim open charcoal laptop with believable hinges, no logos and no legible screen content. Keep the scene simple. Use broad soft window light, believable shadows and gentle highlights. Keep my eyes and face in focus. Preserve natural asymmetry, subtle varied pores. Keep face, ears, neck and hands coherent under the same light, allowing natural regional differences. Use realistic eyes, hands, fingers, wrists and body anatomy. Return one image, not a collage. ----- Added a few examples for your reference below.

YAMS fam, got a design idea? Let’s give it a little photoshoot. 👀 📸 Try this flat lay for a merch announcement, Pinterest pin, email blast, social post, etc. The attached image is an AI-generated concept to show what’s possible—not a photo of an actual YAMS product…YET 😏 (psst…new merch is dropping Nov 1st). 📸 SETUP Use your favorite AI image platform. Replace the bracketed details. If you already sell the item, upload a clear product photo so you can compare the result. 👇🏽 COPY + PASTE Create one photorealistic vertical 4:5 overhead merch flat lay. If I attached a product photo, use it as the product reference: preserve its garment shape, color, artwork, lettering, placement and proportions. If there is no reference, create a concept pullover hoodie in [hoodie color], with [your short brand name or artwork description] on the chest. Arrange the hoodie diagonally on a matte [background color] studio surface, with the entire garment visible and breathing room around it. Keep the chest design unobstructed. Show one hood, two naturally arranged sleeves, realistic ribbed cuffs and hem, one kangaroo pocket and two drawcords. Add one folded charcoal knit beanie near the bottom left and one small closed cream notebook near the bottom right. Keep the props secondary. Use broad soft daylight from the upper left, believable contact shadows, visible cotton knit, natural folds and stitching. Keep the print clear and consistent with the fabric surface. No people, hands, mannequin, extra sleeves, duplicate hoodie, floating objects, plastic-looking fabric, sale badges, pricing or watermark. Return one image, not a collage. For the example: burnt-orange hoodie, cream collegiate YAMS lettering, dark cocoa background. 🔎 QUICK CHECK Compare the artwork, color and garment details with your real item before using the image to sell it. A good-looking mockup still needs to match what someone will receive. Remember that. Want more ways to show off your products? 👀 Try the new Product Mockup Creator App inside the classroom.

Want to create an AI image of your present-day self meeting your younger self? I attached a quick downloadable guide below with the starter prompt and steps to make your own. Start with a clear present-day photo. If you don’t have a childhood photo, the prompt uses the photo you uploaded and the details you give to create the younger you. @Yaya Reed , thank you for your help with sparking this idea.

SAY THIS OUT LOUD: I can care about others without carrying everything. My time, energy, and peace deserve care too. Today, I choose what matters and give myself permission to let the rest wait. 🤎 Take a breath, unclench your shoulders, and make a little room for yourself today. -Whit 🫶🏽
