Product Mockup Process
-
I begin by photographing a prototype or create a physical sample depending on the type of product. In some cases I will create a mockup from scratch by sketching and illustrating it before the photoshop process.
-
Crop photo or bring illustration into photoshop. Structuring layers and match the product's exact size.
-
Utilize available templates by linking them as smart objects to seamlessly apply artwork onto the mockup.
-
Use photoshop's wrapping tools to warp the smart object.
-
Fine-tune by incorporating shading, noise, and highlighting as necessary to enhance the realism of the mockup.
-
Elevate the final mockup by adding embellishments and finishes, ensuring a polished and professional outcome.
Here are examples of my process. All designs were supplied by the art department and applied to each product, making it a quick and effortless process to mockup.
