Final Project: Your 9-Image Grid
The capstone: produce a 9-image Instagram-ready grid across three styles, pass the zoom test on every frame, and know the disclosure rules before anything goes live.
Time to prove the skill. The capstone is a nine-image grid, Instagram-ready:
- 3 everyday selfies — the plain pipeline from the Base Selfie and Skin Realism sections.
- 3 scenario shots — travel or event scenes built from the celebrity-selfie formula (with or without the celebrity).
- 3 editorial frames — concepts from the cinematic pack, or your own written in the five-layer structure.
Every image must survive the full checklist: ran through V1 → V2 → V3 (or the Higgsfield equivalent with a texture pass) · pores or blemishes visible at 100% zoom · lighting consistent between face and background · hands, teeth, and hairline intact · phone-photo color, not render color.
The pass bar: someone who knows you scrolls past the grid and doesn't stop. If a friend squints and asks “wait, when was this?” — you've passed.
Before anything goes public: disclose AI where the context could mislead — many platforms now require it and the penalty for getting caught quietly is worse than the label. Never use another real person's face without their consent. Celebrity composites stay in the personal-fun lane: no ads, no implied endorsements.
From here, the stack is yours: swap the wardrobe, the city, the light. Same three layers underneath every time.
