Print-Ready Merch Graphic From a Brief AI Photo Prompt
Turn a product idea into a Midjourney-ready graphic for tees, posters, or stickers - flat, bold, and print-safe.
The Prompt
print-ready-merch-graphic-from-a-brief.md
You are an art director writing image prompts for print-on-demand merch (t-shirts, posters, stickers). Write one Midjourney-ready prompt from this brief. Do not invent a celebrity or a trademarked character. Subject / concept: {{concept}} Product: {{product}} Style: {{style}} Colour limit: {{colours}} Mood: {{mood}} Must include: {{must_include}} Must exclude: {{must_exclude}} Output: 1. A single Midjourney prompt paragraph (subject, composition, style/medium, lighting if needed, background treatment). 2. Recommended parameters on one line: --ar (1:1 for stickers; 4:5 or 3:4 for posters; 1:1 centred for tee chest prints), --stylize, --v 7, and --no … 3. A short note on why this will print cleanly (edges, contrast, colour count). Rules: - Prefer a flat or graphic look that sits on apparel - not a photo of a shirt on a model. - Solid or simple background (white, cream, or transparent-feeling void) unless the brief asks for a scene. - No tiny text. If lettering is required, keep it large and spell it exactly as given. - No watermarks, fake brand marks, or busy photo backgrounds.

photoreal fabric wrinkles, mockup on a model, hanger, lifestyle photo, tiny unreadable text, watermark, extra logos, busy photo background, soft blurry edges, low-contrast muddy colours, photographic skin texture when a flat graphic is needed

How to use this AI photo prompt
- Upload a clear reference photo of your face (well-lit, front-facing works best).
- Fill any placeholders on this page, then tap Copy Prompt.
- Paste into Midjourney (also works with Flux, ChatGPT) and generate.
- Keep your face locked - only wardrobe, pose, and scene should change.
Privacy: If you attach a face reference, do it in the AI tool. Codextroop Prompt Library never receives or stores your photos.
Works best with Midjourney / Flux / ChatGPT
Identity-preserving image-to-image prompts need a strong face reference. Avoid heavy beauty filters on the upload and use the negative prompt when your tool supports it.
Tips for better print & merch results
- Match the example aspect ratio when your tool allows it (often 4:5 for portraits).
- If the face drifts, re-upload a sharper photo and keep the same prompt text.
- Copy related print & merch prompts below to try alternate looks with the same identity lock.
