# Like Father, Like Ghost — Production Merch Specification

## Capsule system
The capsule uses the existing Inpatient Corridors visual vocabulary: institutional grid, corridor geometry, evidence labels, restrained red, black/white field, and deliberate negative space.

## Source and concept status
The project owner identifies `Like Father Like Ghost1.png` in the Adobe workspace as artwork commissioned through a Fiverr gig. At Dominique's direction, the concept tee displays the number graphic from `Like Father Like Ghost2.png`, resized to 800 × 293 pixels and placed vertically down the side beneath the armpit; `Like Father Like Ghost3.png` remains a separate Violet's Revenge source. Dominique identifies the uploaded photographs as coming from Ren's Instagram post “Oh we do like to be beside the sea side,” which credits @jakewiiliams, @spaaaacey, and @chloeimbach. The Fiverr gig does not establish rights to those photographs. Treat their poster, hoodie, and journal mockups as credited, noncommercial demonstrations under the project owner's fair-use claim. This does not authorize sale, manufacturing, or product listings using the photos; individual photographer mapping is still open. Do not add the number as plain-text contact information or a working telephone link.

Use the exact source artwork for production. AI-generated mockups that change the lettering or crop the design are visual experiments and are not print masters.
