# Independent image / print QA

**Verdict: PASS. No blocking defects found.**

Reviewed all seven full-resolution PNG sources, BRIEF.md, the supplied HomeLife logo, qa/validation.json, card.css, and card/product-label HTML. Checked enlarged fingertip crops separately. Gallery/deployment was outside this review.

- **Copy and composition:** Good Bowl Co., Turkey & Sweet Potato, 40% OFF, IHEART40, goodbowl.co/iheart, the iHeartDogs byline, and the Jan 31, 2027 fine print are correctly spelled. No melted type or prohibited dash characters seen. Card and package typography have HTML sources.
- **Hierarchy and legibility:** Strong offer, distinct code, clean product imagery, and subordinate partner attribution. Front/back remain premium rather than cluttered coupon layouts. Back contains three reasons and the required fine print. Template has the three requested dashed supply zones.
- **Scenes:** Card sits on top and dominates the overhead scene; the hands scene keeps offer/code readable with convincing thumb occlusion; dog scene clearly shows a golden sniffing the open box with the card visible. No material edge misregistration or broken finger anatomy found. One very fine pale lip along the hands card's lower edge is visible under magnification, but reads as paper thickness at normal viewing size and is not a blocker.
- **Brand and seasonal restraint:** Supplied HomeLife artwork is used, not a substitute mark. Navy/cream/indigo and serif/sans hierarchy match the brief. Winter light and sparse greenery are restrained. No competitor logos or branded dog-food packaging visible.
- **Print safety:** Flat cards are actual PNGs, 1800 × 1200 at 300 dpi. Scene and proof dimensions match validation.json. CSS keeps live copy comfortably inside trim; the footer logo's visible artwork reaches the specified 0.2-inch safe boundary without crossing it. Fine print is approximately 6 pt: readable in the source, but should be checked on the recommended physical proof. The annotated proof correctly distinguishes trim, 0.125-inch bleed, and safe area. Reported PDF boxes match 6 × 4-inch trim plus 0.125-inch bleed per side.
- **Validation evidence:** validation.json reports successful URL decoding on both flat cards and all three scenes, with the intended https://goodbowl.co/iheart destination; reported palette contrasts are adequate. PNG format/dimensions/density were independently rechecked. QR decoding and PDF box parsing were reviewed from the supplied validation report, not independently rerun.

**Production caveat, not an artwork defect:** This is a fictional partner sample. Replace/authorize the sample offer URL and product claims before an actual print run; retain the physical-proof and printer-profile checks documented in the proof.
