I run a small studio and need a repeatable cut-out standard for assistants who will produce images for the online shop.

The real tasks

1 of them
I’ve taught apprentices to cut out wares, but quality drifts when they rush. I’m not pressed, but I want a standard that keeps my studio’s look consistent across hires and seasons. Tell me the exact guardrails and a single check to lock in before export so any new assistant’s cut-outs match the catalogue's look.
