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. Whit 🫶🏽 If you missed this morning’s younger-you challenge post, take a peek if you're interested. Then download the guide and have fun creating yours! 👀🤎
