Studio Bamako Patterned Backdrop Portrait Frame
A 1080x1350 portrait frame where the whole ground is a bogolan mud cloth backdrop in mud brown, black and cream, built from bands of zigzags, staggered dots, crosses and eyed diamonds as filled shapes, with a cream bordered vintage print holding a black and white portrait slot, a Young Serif caption, a Sora plate line and a rubber studio stamp. Warm, proud and archival in the spirit of mid-century Bamako studio portraiture, it centres the sitter on the print and lets the cloth pattern fill every edge.

How to make it yours
- Start with the largest text, the "Caption" layer set in Young Serif, and swap in your own words.
- Then rewrite "Stamp studio" (Sora) and "Plate number" (Sora) with your details.
- Replace the 2 photo layers with your own pictures. The film grain stays live, so it applies to your photo too.
- Change the background from #6b4226 to your own colour, then recolour the accents in #efe3c8 and #17120e.
- Export a PNG to post, or a PDF if you need one.
