🐾 Cairo Liam Černý Ibišek ✨

A dog, not a kennel

Cairo Liam Černý Ibišek is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier; at home they call him Iggy. His owner does not run a kennel. He wanted a flyer that shows Cairo’s pedigree, health and show results in one picture.

Three phone photos

He had no photos from a photographer. He uploaded three phone shots: Cairo standing from the front on a lawn, lying on artificial grass and looking out of a window. Kyna turned them into a dark studio scene with Cairo from the front, in profile and lying down. The owner added the date of birth, the colour, the parents, results from a club show and a national show, genetic tests and temperament.

Twenty rounds and a hand finish

This flyer did not come together in a few minutes. The owner went through 20 rounds and 26 drafts and wrote what to change: the size of the dogs, the heading, the text layout, the ear of the lying dog. The generator got some of it right and some of it not.

So I finished two of the rounds, the seventeenth and the twentieth, by hand from his notes: the heading with the dog’s name, the size of the figures, the ear, the line with his dam and one typo. He then downloaded the finished flyer from the app.

The new way of editing in Kyna grew out of flyers like this one. I describe it in the post about the new version.
