BRIEFHERO + METADATAPANELSSTYLE

Lock a brand mascot plus its real-world applications — packaging, signage, print ad and merch — all from one photo. Attach one clean photo of your subject, paste the prompt into GPT Image 2, and it fills in the metadata and palette from your image — then feed the finished board back as a reference so the subject never drifts.

Mascot Board · sock-puppet brand mascot
[BRIEF] Create a single high-resolution, densely packed mascot reference sheet titled "MASCOT BOARD" using the attached photo of the sock puppet as the single source of truth for sock pattern, felt color, eye placement and personality. The same sock puppet must appear in every panel — same sock, same eyes, same logo patch. All on-image labels in ENGLISH. Editorial puppet-mascot design board layout with a dark near-black background, thin yellow neon accent light, faint film-grain overlay, and brand / puppet-studio UI. Hero shot, metadata, expression set and application panels can shift into different balanced arrangements. Adapts cleanly to different aspect ratios.
