What is a registered edition?

Printed on the back of every card and on the certificate

MADE BY A PERSON. AI IS IN THE TOOLBOX.

We check your photos, build a reference of your athlete, make four shots, check every one against it, and you approve the proof before anything prints.

Every piece is designed by me from the photos you send. AI imaging tools are part of my creative process, and every composition, likeness, spelling, color and detail is reviewed and finished by hand before delivery. Nothing is released as final until you approve the proof.

PHOTO CHECK · VERDICT
FAIL
Photo 3 — 4 people in this photo and no clear subject — send one where the athlete is the closest person to the camera.
FAIL
Photo 5 — the eyes are hidden — sunglasses, a visor or a shadow across them; send one where both eyes are visible.
NOTE
Every photo faces the camera square on — send two more, the head turned about 45° to one side in one and to the other side in the other.
PASS
Photos 1, 2, 4, 6 — usable. Anchor: photo 2.

A NOTE FROM THE DESIGNER.

Game Day Edition started with a simple observation: kids who love their sport end up with hundreds of photos on a phone and nothing on their wall.

I put everything I know — design and the AI process behind it — into one thing: making a kid look and feel the way they would after a professional photoshoot, on their own card and poster. A gift nobody else has.
