🎭 The 6 vector styles

Flat, outline, doodle, cartoon, abstract, icon.

Overview

Every AI generation in PrintWearAI is 100% vector: the engine only uses vector rendering modes and always returns an SVG, so designs scale to any size with zero pixelation — ideal for sublimation printing on jerseys. Before generating, the customer picks one of six styles in the AI panel; the style is sent as the style field of the API call. If no style is provided (or an unknown value is sent), generation falls back to flat, the default.

POST /api/ai/generate
{ "prompt": "geometric golden lion", "style": "flat" }

Each generation costs 1 credit regardless of style — see AI Credits.

The styles

style id	Panel label	Expected rendering
flat	🎨 Flat color	Clean solid color shapes, no gradients or texture — crisp flat illustration.
outline	✏️ Outline	Minimal line work: the subject is drawn as clean contour strokes.
doodle	🖊️ Doodle	Hand-drawn line art with a playful, sketchy feel.
cartoon	💬 Cartoon	Comic-book look: bold outlines, expressive shapes, saturated fills.
abstract	🔷 Abstract	Geometric / graphic composition with a carved, high-contrast print feel.
icon	⭐ Icon	A single simple pictogram, ultra-readable at any size.

Which style for which jersey use

• Flat — the safe default for chest artwork and all-over panels: solid fills reproduce most faithfully in sublimation and recolor easily in the studio.
• Outline — subtle accents on sleeves, collars or the back of a jersey; a single-line motif works on any base fabric color.
• Doodle — casual and lifestyle lines (warm-up tees, fan merchandise) where a fun hand-drawn touch fits better than a formal crest.
• Cartoon — mascots and youth-team designs: a bold character that reads well from the stands.
• Abstract — geometric background motifs and side-panel graphics; pairs well with a separate club logo on top.
• Icon — small marks: a sleeve badge, a collar pictogram, or a motif to repeat as a pattern.

Because output is SVG, every generated design can be recolored, scaled and placed per zone in the configurator like any other vector element.
