The GainFrame mascot takes a mirror selfie with a smartphone, illustrating taking dozens of unlabeled mirror selfies in varying light.
1. Forty seven mirror selfies. Same pose, different lighting, none are labeled.
The GainFrame mascot flexes next to a heavy barbell while a phone camera blocked by a thumb captures a blurry PR attempt.
2. One blurry PR video. The plate count is somewhere in there, so is half a thumb.
The GainFrame mascot holds a cooking pot and smartphone while looking at floating chicken and rice, representing unused meal prep screenshots.
3. A meal prep screenshot. Saved once, never cooked, chicken and rice live in theory.
The GainFrame mascot kneels to inspect a day-one progress photo found in a pile of pictures, reflecting on a year of fitness effort.
4. The photo from day one. Buried between memes and parking spots, suddenly the whole year makes sense.
