All about Mockups!
Mockups are a must-have for marketing your surface designs. They are a great tool for helping your clients visualize your art on their products. If you've been using pre-made mock up templates, you know they can be expensive, complicated and often overused — which means art directors end up seeing the same ones over and over again.
Your mock ups should be as unique as your art! Once you learn a few mockup tricks and techniques you'll be able to create mockups from any stock photo, opening up a world of opportunities to showcase your art in the very best, most unique ways!
This class is a fantastic introduction to the art of mockups and includes 2 free downloadable photos used in the class so you can follow along step by step.
This class is perfect for surface/pattern designers, graphic designers and entrepreneurs. You'll need to have a working knowledge of Photoshop, but you don't need to be a Photoshop expert! The instructions are presented very clearly so you shouldn't have any trouble following along.
Once you master the basics in this class, you'll be ready for more Mockup Academy classes that build on this foundation.
Class 2 focuses on mockups with curved surfaces. Think mugs and bowls, lamp shades, popcorn tins, etc.
Class 3 is an introduction to Smart Objects -- a powerful tool for creating multi-use mockups -- so you can do your editing once and then just drop in new art effortlessly again and again.Â
Class 4 covers mockups with shiny surfaces and transparent items.
You can use this series as a resource to come back to again and again. So if today you need to mockup a gift bag, but find you need to mockup a pillow or a mug down the road, you can come back and brush up on those techniques whenever you need them.Â
Thanks for watching and have fun making mockups!
