Pet gifts fail when they are generic. A portrait from their actual photo is the whole trick.
1. Choose the product for the relationship
A tee is for everyday people who want to be a little ridiculous in public. A poster is for the wall by the door, the office, or a memorial.
2. Pick the photo like a reference, not a dump
Eyes sharp, face large, natural light. One pet per frame unless both faces are huge.
3. Match style to the mood
Funny: cartoon. Heartfelt: watercolor or oil. Dramatic: cinematic. Generate on the matching merch studio so the composition fits.
4. Order once you like the mockup
Do not surprise-print a bad crop. If the first generation misses the markings, add a note and run it again.
FAQ
Shirt and poster from one photo?
Yes. Run the t-shirt studio and the poster studio separately so each prompt fits the product.
