How To Make Realistic Mock-Ups In Photoshop

1. Introduction: I started off as a designer. My clients didn't seem to like my designs even though my work was amazing. And I just couldn't seem to figure out why. I later on figured out that it is because of the way I was presenting my designs. You see your client doesn't care how good your designs, how you are making them, or what techniques you are using. All they care about is that how good their product will look in their design you are making for them. So the answer to my question was mockups. By making mock-ups, I was able to show my clients, but the product will look like in reality. And those same lines started proving my designs. Basically, I was helping them visualize their products. If you are someone who is also facing this issue, this course is for you. We will start off by making very basic mock-ups. We will then learn how to make mockups in perspective like on a mobile screen or a box out to make mockups of a coffee cup and also how to make them editable. We will make a realistic mock-up on a metallic surface produced and also t-shirt. Lastly, I will show you how to make a realistic mock-up with original shadows. And in the final lecture, I will teach you how you can sell your mock-ups as well. Basically, by the end of this course, you will know exactly how to make realistic mockups in Photoshop and how to use them to present your designs to your clients. To who is this course for? This course is for anyone who does any kind of client work because it is extremely important to show your designs with real-world examples. At the end of this course, you will be given a project so that you could implement everything that you have learned in the course. Don't forget to share your amazing designs with me and I can't wait to see you in the course. 2. What Is A Mockup?: Okay, so before we learn how to make mockups, I want to quickly tell you what mockups are and why you should learn how to make them. So as you can see that I have this image over here of a coffee cup and it is all editable. It is basically a mock-up. So if I come over here and you can see that there are different layers, if I double-click on this and let's just say I want to change its color to maybe something like this, orange over here. And if I hit Okay, you can see that it has been updated over here. And along with all the older design structure, like all the lighting and the shadows and everything. Similarly, I can change the color of the cap as well, but I can make it red or something like that. I don't think I should change it because black looks classic. Then we can edit the design itself. If I double-click on this, you can see that I can edit all of this as well. I can edit the text as well and also the background. Let me copy this color, which I put it in the background. And let me copy this code and simply come over here and change its color. And you can see that it has been updated over here. But the thing is, as soon as I will update it over here, I will press Control or Command S. It will be updated over here as well. So you can see this is yellow at the moment, if I press Control or Command S. And it will take some time when I will come back over here. It hasn't updated. How cool is this? Similarly, you can even make the background black or darker or lighter one. And there is one more thing which you should notice. If I zoom in over here, we can see that even if I make a dark shadow is over there, and even if I change the color to maybe something like this, shadow is over there. But this is something which is very useful for a mock-up. Basically, there are two uses for a mock-up. Number one is to present your designs because just showing all of this design is not enough for a client. They have to basically visualize it. So our mock-up basically helps visualize the client. But their product will look like for which you are making their design of. The second use is basically you can sell these designs as well. You can basically sell these mockups to how? Let me show you if so, if you come over here, basically, I have opened three websites which are really popular for selling design efforts. We have created market over here then Envato elements and three pick as well. If I write for free mockup over here, let me load this. You can see that there are different kinds of mock-ups over here. A coffee mug, mug of coffee mug, mock-up of coffee cup mock-up. There are also mock-ups for packaging and other kinds of things. Okay, so why make them yourself when you can download them from these websites? Well, number one is dead. Like I said, that when you make them yourself, you can make them editable the way you want. The second thing is basically when do you know how to make mockups? You can sell them on the website. You can see this mock-up is like for $14. So if this person has maybe ten sales to that $240, but this is just to show you what is the potential for making money through your mockups. Then you have invited two elements as well. This is also a paid website and free pig is a free website, but there is also a paid plan for it. Basically. You can see that there is a cellular content option over here as well. You can upload your mock-ups over here and basically you can sell them. This was pretty much it on the first lecture, I just wanted to show you what is a mock-up and via you should learn how to make those. In the later lectures, we are going to learn all about making mockups from simple to the advanced versions. So I hope that you guys really enjoyed the first lecture and I will see you guys in the next class. 3. Create A Simple Mockup: So how can we make a simple generator realistic mock-up in Photoshop? We're going to start off very simple. And later on we are going to cover some really complex topics as well. Over here you can see that I have this image of a person holding up card and I placed a design on top of it. Let me delete this and let me show you from the start. So I'm going to go to my files over here. By the way, when you will join the course, you can download all the project files from the link in it as well. Over here as you can see that I am under number four. I'm going to simply open it. And over here I have the design file. So you have the Soul, you will have the source files as well. You can practice on these as well. But I would highly recommend you to make everything from the start. So I have already dragged and dropped these images, and I'm going to drag this one now. I'm going to drop it over here and then I will resize it. By the way, if you want to know how am I resizing it from the middle, all you have to do is simply press Alt while doing so. Otherwise, it gets resized like this. But as you start working, it gets resized like this. And if you press Alt or Option, you can resize it from the middle. So I'm going to bring it over here. If we wanted to basically make it look realistic and the white background is not working at all. You can do with this is like the most you're thinking anymore curve. And that is the Blend Mode. Multiply. All you have to do is simply select your image. And over here, we will change it to Multiply. What multiply does is that it basically removes all the white from the image. I'm going to transform it again by pressing Control or Command D. Make it a little bigger, rotate it a little, and we are done. I know I know this is very simple. And for most of you guys, it would be like very basic. If you think it is very basic, you can simply skip this lecture and move on to the next one. Yeah, we move into the image of fee, basically zoom in, you can see that the texture of the card is coming on to the texture as well in the whole image. So basically, the multiplier is amazing blend mode if you want to make mockups. Let's move to the second example. Over here, you can see that I have this very Christmas kind of pattern over here. Don't know why I was interested in the Christmas teams while I was making this anyhow. So over here you can see that I have this pattern and I've placed it on top of this frame. Let me delete this. Let's make it from the start. Again, I'm going to go to my project files. And over here, I will simply drag and drop this over here. Let me zoom out a little and let me resize it. Let's zoom in. Though. There is one thing that you can always do while making mock-ups. Whatever you are placing on top of anything, simply decrease the opacity. That way you can see below the image. And it makes the work very easy for you. But I will simply press Control or Command T and transform it like this. I can even rotate it like this, but I want these to be big and simply place it here. Okay? Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to come over here and select the rectangular marquee tool. And over here, I will just simply create a rectangle like this. I'm doing a very rough kind of work over here. So forgive me if I make any mistakes. Yeah, I have basically made a rectangle. Now I can increase the opacity. I will simply select this and I will simply click on the mask over here. And we are done. Not really. So yeah, it is placed inside the frame, but it doesn't look realistic vibe because there are no shadows and highlights and all that stuff. But what we can do is simply select this. And over here, I'm going to change the blend mode to multiply. And bam, we are done. Let me show you the before and after. If I press Control or Command Z, you can see that this is before multiply. And if I press Control or Command Shift Z, you can see basically this is redo and undo that. You can see that we can see the shadow over here as well. Let me zoom in. Sorry. Let me zoom in over here. You can see I messed it up a little, just a little bird. You can see that this is working out quite fine for us. Yeah, let me zoom out a little. Let's fix this little error as well. So I'm going to select the Marquee Tool, create a rectangle over here. I guess this is enough. And I will select the mask. And with black, I'm going to draw over here and we are done. But yeah, this was pretty much it on how to make a simple looking mockup. These examples are very simple, but this is just the beginning and later and later in the course. We are going to do some really complex work as well. So I hope that you guys really enjoyed the lecture and I will see you guys in the next one. 4. Create A Multi Use MockUp: Welcome back guys. In this class we are going to learn how to create a multi-use mock-up. Basically, in this mock-up, you will have two areas which you can edit it. As you can see that I have this image of a subway and there are two frames over here. And I've placed two designs on top of them. You can, if you want, you can place some efforts on this as well, depending upon the nature of your work too, I'm going to select both of these and I'm going to delete them. Then I'm going to go to my project files over here. Like I said before, when you will download the project files, you will have access to the source file as well. And you will have access to the assets as well. I'm going to basically drag and drop both of these images over here and press enter over here and maybe resize them as well. I'm going to press Control or Command T and the size. Let me hide one of them so that we could work with just one of them. I'm going to select this one and I want to place it on top of this one. This frame basically like the way we did it before. We can do the same thing over here. We can simply decrease the opacity so that we could see below. And over here, we will simply going to press Control or Command T to the size it and place it in the frame. Like the way we wanted. But I guess this seems alright, I want the tree to be over here. I'm going to increase the opacity, 30, not increasing yet because I want to make a selection first. Over here, I will make US election first. Because otherwise I wouldn't be able to see it. Then I will increase the opacity. Then I will simply click on the mask over here. And just like that, we have a very nice kind of mockup over here. I can use multiply on this, but it won't make any difference because the, because the background is completely right. But there is one thing which will happen if we change it to multiply. The shadow of the frame is showing properly. We will use multiply over here. So you can see this is the normal and this is with multiplying. Let me zoom back over here. Let me group this two. I will simply select this and press Control or Command G on it. So this is grouped so I can turn it on and off. Before the next example, I'm going to basically show you another way to make a mock-up. I'm going to this over here and we are going to use a clipping mask. Because clipping mask is amazing because it gives you the flexibility of moving or older image without trying to decrease the opacity. And second guessing it. What I'm going to do is I'm going to simply like the rectangle tool over here. And I'm going to create a rectangle. So I guess it's alright. Sorry about that background noise. So let me change. I guess I will have to basically warp it a little because the image is not hundred percent more, I guess. Simply pressing Control or Command T. And with control pressed, I'm basically moving it to the side. Now simply press Enter. It is general property on the bottom. Let me fix this as well. I guess it is. Alright. So let me change its color to white. Britain. Double-click on this, okay, so it's working now. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to select this image, this image over here, bring it on top of this over here. Okay, let me move this up a little so that you could see what's going on. And what I want to do is I'm going to simply clip it down every press Alt or Option, and simply click between these two layers. Again, press Alt or Option and bring it between these two layers that I can will change and simply click. Not. What is happening over here is that it has been clipped to the bottom image, which is the square rectangle. Now I can place it anywhere I want. So I don't have to basically lower the opacity and basically gets it. And I can make it bigger or smaller. I guess this looks alright. And we are done. This is obviously much better way to do it. And if you want, you can decrease the opacity of this as well. Sorry, change it to multiply. And now if I zoom in over here, you can see that we can basically see the shadows of the frame as well. But let me zoom out over here. And this is pretty much it. Yeah, i we are basically going step-by-step. I know this was simple as well, but this was a little advanced than the previous one. And the next one would be even more advanced than this one. So, yeah, I hope that you guys really enjoyed the class and I will see you guys in the next one. 5. Box MockUp - Perspective: Welcome back guys. In this class we are going to learn how to make mockups in perspective. As you can see that I have this mobile screen over here. And then we are going to learn how to make this as well. So yeah, let me come back over here and let me show you the before and after. But this was the before, the actual image and here is the after. And if I open this group, you can even see that there is this lighting effect over here as well, like a flare. So we tried to make it as realistic as possible. So let me delete this and let's make it from the start. So if you go to your project files, if I go over here, the more box mockup over here. So I will simply open this, then go to design file and asserts, I will simply drag and drop this mobile screen over here. If you drop it over here. And now we can basically change your perspective. So let me zoom out a little. By the way, the picture I, the screenshot I took was from an iPhone ten. So there are, as you know, that there are differences of basically the screen size. But no problem we can adjust it over here. But I'm going to do is basically I'm going to press Control or Command T to transform it. And then I'm going to, on top of my Mobile, I can simply swap it. I will press control or command. The cursor will change to this. Then I can bring it over here, and similarly over here. But before that, I realized that I should make a selection of the screen first. So I'm going to press Control or Command Z to the side. And over here I will select the mobile screen. All of this is simply white. I can select the Magic Wand tool. Let me zoom in a little. And I will simply click over here once to select all of this. Then over here, I will press Control or Command J. And now you can see that the screen is on a separate layer. If I turn this off, you can see the green is on a separate layer. Now let me zoom out. I will select the mobile screen over here. And over here, place it, press Control or Command T. And now I will simply put it over here like this. I have press Control or Command on Mac and now I am adjusting all of this seems all right. I know it is a little smaller than the screen. We will adjust it. As you can see that there are some gaps over here. No problem. We can move it out a little. That is the reason we made this selection. This seems alright. So yeah, as you can see that this is moving outside the screen. We can simply clip it down because we have made the screen on a separate layer. I will make a clipping mask over here. And just like that, it looks so realistic, so good. So there was one more thing which I did. I basically added a flare on it so that it would look realistic. Let me put both of these in a group. I have selected both of them by pressing control, and now I will press Control or Command G to group them. Over here, I will get a year to our new layer and I will simply flip it down. Now, I can come over here, the gradient tool. And over here, if you go to the basics, there is white, then black to white, and then there is transparent, white to transparency. I would simply select this. And if I make something over here, you can see that it is making a gradient. So I will simply select from byte to transparency and make a gradient over here like this. Maybe a little more. Then all I can do is simply reduce the opacity, maybe to like 50%. And now we have this really cool kind of player effect on top of us feeling it's like the light is coming from over here. So yeah, I guess we are done with it. So here's the before. Here's the after. There could be some extra space down over here because the screen size is different modalities or not, or concern over here. Before, after. Let me show you another example over here, which is very different, but it is also related to perspective. If I turn this, let me group both of these, okay? If I turn this off, you can see that this was a simple box. And if I turn this on, you can see that we have a very nice kind of pattern on top of it. I have put the pattern over here already. So over here, we have already made a selection. I'm not going to delete this because it takes some time to make a selection and this is not a selection tutorial. I just want to show you the concept. Okay, so I'm going to delete this and let me put this out of the group. And what I have basically done over here is that I selected the box, then I selected the Quick Selection Tool and made the selection. Obviously I refine the selection and it'll as well. And then I made a mask out of it. Over here we have this box on a separate layer. Now what we're going to do is basically we are going to turn on our pattern. Or you can simply go to your project files and simply drag and drop your pattern. Over here. I'm going to turn this on and I'm going to simply click on this while pressing control. This way it will make a selection of all of this. Then I will simply press Control or Command C to copy it. Okay, so it tastes copied to the clipboard. Now you cannot see it anywhere but it is copied. I will press Control or Command D to de-select it before donkey. So Control or Command B. Sorry, I always do this because I just wanted to make sure that you guys remember the short keys properly to Control or Command D to de-select. Let me turn this off. And what we're going to do is we are going to create a new layer on top of this. And then we are going to go to Filter. And over here we're gonna go to vanishing point. Okay? So you can see that I have already made this. I will simply press backspace to delete it. So let me press Control or Command minus to zoom out a little over here. As you can see that using this, you can create a perspective. So if you don't, if you don't have this over here, you will simply have to come over here and press and, and you will have this Create Plane Tool selected. I'm going to click over here once. Then over here, you can go outside the edges a little if you want. Because we will have the, we have, we already have the box on a separate layer. We have this simple plane. Now what you have to do is simply press Control or Command and extended down. So you can see that it is already understanding that perspective. By the way, if you do anything wrong, it will automatically tell you that you are doing wrong by showing this inbred. So e.g. if I move this to the side, you can see that this is wrong. And overhead as well. I will press Control or command and bring this down. So I have this perspective over here. Now, all I will do is basically let me extend it to the sides as well and it'll outside for that or design would be a district properly. Now, I will press Control or Command V to paste that design I made before. Why is it not working? Record press Control or Command V again, for some reason it is not working. So yeah, no problem. I will simply press OK you over here and it will be saved. Let me go back over here. And let me try rasterizing this to simply right-click on this and Rasterize Layer. Now click on this and press Control or Command C a couple of times to copy it. Now, let's go back to this layer. Go to Filter vanishing point. We have this over here already and I will simply press Control or Command V. Finally, now you can simply resize this as well. Though I am resizing all of this, okay? And as soon as I will drag and drop it on the design, you can see that it is automatically adjusting itself according to the perspective of Willis this. So let me increase its size from the edge like this. And from over here as well. And you can see that it is adjusting according to the perspective. Now I will simply hit Okay. You can see that it is going outside and it'll no problem. We already have the box on a separate layer, so we will simply clip it down. How do we cliffs things to do the objects, we've simply press Alt or Option and click between the layers. Bam, all the edges are gone. Now we can simply change it to multiply. I'm going to change the blend mode to multiply. And just like that, we have such an amazing kind of mockup over here. So now we can simply select all of this and group it. Though here is the before and here's the after and zoom in over here. You can see that all the shadows and all the highlights of the box are properly visible over here. And our design looks amazing. But yeah, this was pretty much it on how to create mock-ups in perspective. I hope that you guys really enjoyed the class and I will see you guys in the next one. 6. Coffee Cup MockUp - Warp: Welcome back guys. In this class we are going to learn how to make this really nice coffee cup mock-up in Photoshop. So let me show you the before and after. The before and here is the after. But let me select this and delete it. And let's make it from the start. Okay, So the first thing which I have done over here already is that you can see that I have a group over here. If I turn this on and turn this off, you can see that the cup is on a separate layer. And if I open up the group, you can see that the lid is on a separate layer as well and the body is on a separate layer. I have already done this to save time basically. But if you want, I can show you how to make a selection as well. This is not a selection or masking course. Let's do it. No problem. Okay, so let's select the cup first over here, I will simply select the Quick Selection Tool. Let me do this real quick so that no one would complain that I just made the mockups and not the selections. So let me select this object over here. I'm pretty sure that Photoshop is going to make a proper selection. Yeah, it made a really good selection. Simply hit Okay over here. And now we have to separate the upper lid. I'm going to simply right-click on this and apply the layer mask. That way it is a restaurant is separate layer. So I can make a selection using the Quick Selection Tool over here. Let's try it. Yeah, I guess I've been I was making this before as well. There was some problem in this area because there is not proper contrast over here. Let's try doing this. Okay? This might not work properly. What I have done before is that I will select the Pen tool over here. I haven't click over here once. Zoom out a little. And over here, basically I'm making a very simple kind of part over here. Then I can select all of this area like this, right-click on it and basically make selection. Since all of this is already transparent, I can simply press Control or Command J. And now I will press Control or Command Shift J. That way, it will not only make, put it on a new layer, but also cut it from the bottom. So you can see that the lid and the cup are on a separate layer. We can rename them all this scarf or body, and let's call this lid. And we can group them as well. So let's turn these on and let's start working on the design. So I already downloaded a design. I guess this was also from free pig. I will come to the project files over here and asserts, I have already used the club. I will simply put their design over here. Okay. So let me zoom out a little. Yeah, over here. Like you can see that we don't have a straight kind of object at the bottom. We have something which is curving. So we have to make sure that we adjust it accordingly that will press Control or Command Z and bring it to the middle. Let me decrease the opacity a little. Ok, and now let's start working on this. So first I have and make sure that it is the exact size as the okay. You can adjust it like this. I'm doing at the bottom. I'm doing it like this on purpose because I will be with singly warping it. Now what I can do is I can basically increase the opacity a little so that I could see everything. And it is already are smart object. No command three. And now what I will do is I will right-click on this and basically click on vote. By clicking on warp, I can basically walk bit like anyway, I want to, I will bring it down over here. Like this thing, these to the side. Like this, if it cannot see properly, let me zoom in. And as you can, as you know that we have no problem going out of bounds because we have already, we already have the cup on a separate layer. Then over here, we will move this up a little because the designer will go up and over here like this. Then in the middle, which is a very important part since it is curving. We will bring this down like this because it is supposed to look realistic. And then on the sides we can bring it in or that it would look like It tastes around the cup. Simply hit Enter synthesis, a smart object. We can always double-click on this and adjust the original one. Let me cancel this. No, I can increase the opacity again and I will simply bring it into the group, but above the capillary. And I will simply clip it down by pressing Alt or Option. Good enough. And how to make it a little more realistic. It is so simple. Simply go to the blend modes and multiply. And we are done. Simple was this. I basically separated the lid on purpose. I didn't need to, but I did it on purpose because if we do the clipping over here, if this was not on a separate layer, it would have basically gone on top of the lid and then we had to mask it out anyway. So let me flip it back and this is pretty much it. Let me show you the before and after. Here's the before and here is the after. Our goal is this. Then the next class. We are going to basically learn how to make your mockups editable. Because at the moment, we are, all we are doing, we are only doing the destructive work, which is not the way to make mockups. So, yeah, I hope that you guys really enjoyed the tutorial and I will see you guys in the next class. 7. Make Editable Mockups: Hi guys. In this class we are going to learn how to make editable mockups in Photoshop. Does. You can see that I have this image over here. Let me show you the original image. And then I put a screen on top of it. I even added this nice kind of glare effect on it. So if I hide this, you can see that we have this glare effect as well. But the thing is, all of this is editable. How let me show you. If I double-click on this, you can see that this opens up as a new Photoshop file. Basically this is a smart object. Smart objects open as a new file. If I add something on top of this, let's just say this or maybe just create a new layer on top of this. And if I select the brush tool and maybe draw something like this and press Control or Command S to save this. You will see that this has been updated over here. How cool is this? Along with all the effects and everything? How did I do it? Let me show you. So let's delete all of this and why not make it from the start, okay? So I'm going to delete all of this and I will make all of this from the start. So the first thing which we are going to do is we are going to make a simple rectangle, okay? Not in perspective, not anything like that, just a simple rectangle. So I'm going to come over here and I will select the rectangle tool. Let's make a rectangle about this size. Then I can resize it through as big as I like. Maybe this weird. Okay. Now what I can do is I can simply convert it into a smart object. I'm going to right-click on this and convert it into a Smart Object. And I will call this maybe something like this. Okay? Now what I will do is I will simply press Control or Command T and resize it. Did over here. Let's zoom in a little. Let me decrease the opacity so that we could see everything. Flow of risk control or Command T again. And these two the coordinates properly, okay? Well I will put this over here as well. This over here. And over here. If you want to warp it like this, if you do it without pressing control, it won't work. You have to press Control or Command on Mac. Okay. I guess this is good to go and I will simply press Enter. There is a little gap over here. Let me fix this. It seems alright. Okay, so now what we can do is we can simply double-click on this and it will open as a separate file because it is a smart object. Then I will double-click on this. You can see that this is a separate file. Now what I can do is I can simply go to my project files. And over here, let's import this skill share screen over here. Okay? Obviously the screen Share screen is not the same as the file we created. But we're going to do is we can basically say is you turn it up just a little. I'm not extending stretching here to way too much. Okay. No, I will simply press Control or Command S. And now it has been updated over here. How cool is this? And since this is a smart object, it has been updated and along with the low opacity, I forgot to change the opacity so I can increase the opacity over here. Now, let's just see if I decrease the opacity. I double-click on this and I create a new layer and I draw something over here like this. Let's Control or Command S. It will be updated over here along with a low opacity. How cool is this? But let me increase the opacity again. Double-click on this. Lake. All of this is editable. This is not destructive. I can edit this at any point I want. If I delete this and I press Control or Command S, and it will be updated over here. So let me create that flavor over here as well. So I will create a new layer on top of this, and I will clip it down for this specific layer. Then I will select the gradient tool. Let me change this to two. Transparency. And I will change the color to, let me double-click on this. And I will change this color to white. Let's select this one because it allows you to basically create a gradient like this. Let's create a new layer and show you could create such a gradient like this. By the way, we will have to change the color of this to white as well. Otherwise it won't work. So let me delete this layer. And on this layer I will simply create a gradient like this. It looks nice. And now I can simply decrease the opacity. And I really like it. I can maybe do it a little more. Okay. I guess this is alright. So let me keep it to like 60 or maybe like E is alright. Okay, so now what I can do is I can double-click on this. Again. I can go to my project files, and this is my YouTube channel. I can simply drop it over here, not my YouTube channel. Just a simple YouTube screen. And I would put it over here, may be extended a little entered. You can adjust this as you like and simply press Control or Command S. And it has been updated over here. Like this is amazing, right? Because you can make just one mockup and you can put as many screens on it as you like and it will look amazing every single time. So yeah, this was pretty much it on how to make editable mockups. Later on, we will make mockups which are editable, but not as simple as a straight screen. There could be curved as well. So I hope that you guys really enjoyed this tutorial. I will see you guys in the next class. 8. Where To Find Images For MockUps: Welcome back guys. In this class, I'm going to tell you about all the websites from here, you can download images to create mock-ups. So I have like four of them, five of them are free and the next three are basically paid. And if you want a list for all of them, you can basically go to the project files over here. And over here, you can open this PDF and it has a list of all the websites, the free ones and the period ones. Let me show you some of them. Over here we have three pick, three pickers, like really amazing website for downloading images and basically all kind of design assets. So let me write mockup over here. And what here, then you will have to select three and then photos unless you have free pick premium and simply click on search over here. So you will get all kinds of, I guess I didn't select photos. Yeah. So yeah, you will get all kinds of mock-ups over here. As you can see. Three pictures like an amazing website for all kinds of images like these ones. Then we have Unsplash over here. I have already written the word mockup and clicked on search in all of these. So in Unsplash you can see that these have we have toward bags and then guards and puffy more mockups. I guess I use this one in the, one of the tutorials. So yeah, you can basically download all kinds of images from overhead as well, like this pillow as well. Then we have pixels. So let me search over here as well. So you can see that you're not going away. You can see that we have some images over here as well. But the problem with these free websites is that you might be able to find what you want over here. So e.g. if I write below mockup over here, you can see that I am looking for a white pillow to edit hand. It is not available over here. So yeah, when you are searching on free websites, I will recommend you to search on all of them. You might be able to find some on them, but on the period website, obviously they are always available. Then we have AC TZ, which is also an amazing website for all kinds of design assets and also for these kind of physically mockup images. Though, we then also have Pixabay, which is a very good website for these kind of images. And finally, we have the last E, which are the fade websites. We have invited two elements, Adobe Stock, there is ice talk as well. Then there's Shutterstock. To be honest. I'm gonna be honest with you. I use and what two elements I have a subscription for it. I guess it is only $160 a year, which is totally worth it because you get all kinds of assets over here. Asserts and mock-ups and all kinds of stuff. Then we have Adobe Stock and Shutterstock. To be honest, I use free pick and Envato elements the most because I get most of the images from over here. But Shutterstock is like ODE. You get so many options over here that it is totally crazy. Sorry if I'm talking too loud into the mic. So you can see that there are so many options over here, and you can make mockups out of these images. But the thing about Shutterstock is that it is extremely expensive because I guess for just have to pay for individual images like you, I guess maybe a couple of bucks for one image. So there are obviously monthly plans as well, but you have to pay a lot of money for it. So the two upsides, which I highly recommend R3, pig and Envato Elements. Yeah, this was pretty much it for this tutorial. I hope that you would be able to find these resources helpful. I will see you guys in the next class. 9. Metallic MockUp: Welcome back guys. In this class we are going to learn how to basically make a mock-up of a metallic object like this bottle over here. And if I zoom in over here, you can see that I have this logo on top of it. I actually placed it. And you can see that it looks so realistic. You can even see the droplets and everything and even the reflection properly. Let me zoom out and let me delete this. And let's make it from the start. If I go to my project files over here, if I open this metallic mock-up tutorial and in the design files I will have the assets. Do I have already used this image? And I will go in, I'm going to basically drag and drop this over here. Okay, let me resize it a little. And before we even do anything, I just basically want to remove the white background. All you have to do is simply change it to multiply. So we are done with half of the auditorium after that. But you have to do is basically you have to make a selection of your bottle. So let me hide this, let me select this. And over here, I haven't make a rough selection of the bottle. We don't need the perfect selection because we won't be using all of it, but don't worry about the edges. So I will press Control or Command J to make a copy of it. Now, this is on a separate layer. Like I said, don't worry about the edges. We just need this middle part, the norm. But now what I'm going to do is I'm going to basically select this and I'm going to move it up this layer. And I will turn on this local. But when I will turn this on, you will see that this will look really weird. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to basically D saturate it. Oh, can I do it? I will simply come up over here. Click on image, then click on adjustments. And over here I have it set to it, but basically I am removing all the color from this specific layer. Now what I will do is I will simply click over here and change the blend mode to overlay. So because of this, this looks even more realistic now. Now I can move the logo up a little. Maybe. If I remove this, you will see that it doesn't look realistic, but after putting it on top of the image, it looks more realistic. Now I can zoom it and I can even play with the opacity. A little, boy, I guess 70% would be alright. So let me group all of these press Control or Command G. Let's zoom out. If you want to zoom out to the frame like I did simply press Control or Command zero. This basically zooms out like 100%. So here is the before, here is the after. You can also obviously make this editable. If you want. You can basically make this is already a smart object. You can put other logos into it as well and make it editable. I just wanted to show you how to put it on a metallic surface so that you would know how to do it. You already know how to make this editable. Yeah, this was pretty much it. I own how to put a logo or any design on a metallic surface, basically how to make a mock-up out of a metallic surface. I hope that you guys really enjoyed this tutorial and I will see you guys in the next class. 10. Make Them Realistic - Blend if: Welcome back guys. In this class we are going to learn how to make a realistic footie or T-shirt mockup in Photoshop. So I have this hoodie over here and as you can see that I have a logo on top of it. Looks pretty realistic. Then over here you can see that I have this editable mockup. You can change the logo as well, and you can change the color as well. But yeah, let's learn how to make these little press Control or Command Z. And let's make these from the start. I'm going to delete this. And yeah, so basically all you've to do is basically I have this image over here and I will go to the project files. You can see all the files over here, the asset files. I have a couple of logos. Over here. I will select that foodie have logo. I just made it for the sake of this tutorial. And let me put it over here like this. Okay, Then I will zoom in a little bit as you can see that the person is standing a little to the left, like he is a tilted a little. We will adjust accordingly as well. Let me repeat this. And I will simply press Control or Command and I will move this up a little. This looks all right. Now, now what we will do is even not use Multiply, because if V was multiply on something which is already white, it will get disappeared. Like it will look something like this. No, we're not going to do this. But we're going to do, is we are going to use Blend If one, because the whole concept of all of the specific tutorial is to T2 blend F. But before that, what I want to do is I want to make sure that the logo is a district accordingly to the according to the folds of the sweatshirt or the hoodie over here. What I'm going to do is it is already a Smart Object. Admin decrease the opacity over here. And let me bring it over here. Then I'm going to go up over here, click on Filter, and then I will click on Liquify. Liquify tool using which you can basically VOIP things that it is similar to warp and transform, but even more powerful because you get a brush with it. Let me decrease the size a little. Maybe you can create a little. You can see that we have folds over here, over here, and then over here, I'm going to bring these, okay? Then bring it in from over here as well. Similarly over here, you have ideas as well. I'm not doing it way too much. Just a little. Then over here as well. And bring it up the size maybe. And then over here, okay, Then I will simply hit pokey. You can see that it is according to the folds. Now, let me show you the before and after. This was before liquefy. And now this is after liquefy. Such a big difference, right? I didn't do it over here because all of this area is playing. Now what we're going to do with it already looks amazing. Now we're going to do is basically we are going to use something called Blend, If I will, right-click over here and then go to Blending Options. And over here, you can see that this is blended domestically and there is the underlying layer slider over here. And using this, we can basically bring up the layer which is below this lobe over here. It is getting confusing. Let me show you how I will bring this to the side. And if I bring it to the side a lot, you will see that the logo will start to disappear because it is bringing up the layer below it. And add the point where it is starting to disappear. I will leave it over here. Then I will press Control or Trump, sorry, Alt or Option. And you can break the slider. Now I will bring this to the left. You can see that it is starting to make a lot of sense. And I guess this seems all right. Now we can hit Okay. Now it looks even more realistic. Let me press Control or Command Z will show you the before and after. I know you might think that this is something similar to reducing the opacity. But no, yeah, also I forgot to change the opacity over here. Sorry about that. So now we will double-click on this localized because its opacity, I couldn't see it properly. So let me bring this over here. Like this. The video to starting to disappear. No, I will bring the slider like this. Now you can see the difference properly to the side a little this over here and hit Okay. But you can see this was before. Here's the after. We can basically see the falls below this now. But let me zoom out. So before, after, before, after our Boulez, this, and obviously it is editable because this is a smart object. Let's come on over here. So basically we have a t-shirt over here. And let me show you the before and this was the actual image, a white hanger and a t-shirt and a background. What I have done is basically I have made a selection of just the t-shirt. And I left out everything else because I wanted to change the color of the t-shirt. Yeah, let me move this out because I don't want to make the whole selection all over again. And it will delete everything else that we would have, at least save the selection of the t-shirt. Yeah, you can always make the selection using the Quick Selection Tool over here and make the selection. It was bleeding out and it'll into the hangar because it is also white. Do I have already made a selection? Let me let me click on this. If I right-click on this by pressing Control or Command, you can see that this is the selection. So we want to change the color of the T-shirt first. And after that we are going to apply a logo on top of it. So it is very simple. All we're going to do is we are going to create a color solid color adjustment layer over here. Let me change it to something like this. And I will simply clip it down so it doesn't look realistic at all. So if we have a lighter color like this, but do we do we simply change the blend mode to multiply? Multiply is the answer to everything in this case. So yeah, you can change the color to whatever you want. I guess. This looks all right. Now, I want to place a logo on top of it. Okay? So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to create a new layer. And let me open the project files. And I have a couple of logos over here. So I'm going to bring this one over here. Let me resize it and bring it to the middle. I want to basically change it to look like that it is on the T-shirt and make it more realistic like this one. So I'm not going to apply a blend if on top of this because it failed basically bring out discolored and not the t-shirt, not the folds of the T-shirt. But I will bring this down. Okay. I know the color is a little bit applied on top of this as when now. And now what we can do is we can basically double-click on this to open up Layer Styles or simply right-click and go to blending options. We're not going to play, I'm sorry, liquefy on it because I guess Protein, this won't be a problem with what I'm doing right now. I will bring this to the left. At the point where it is starting to disappear. I will break the slider. And as you can see, at the bottom of the t-shirt is starting to come up, Boulez this. And it looks really realistic. I can even apply some liquify on it as well. But to be honest, I don't think it is needed over here at the moment. So now that we can do with this is a smart object. We can double-click on this and we can change it. So if I go to project files over here, let's just say I want this logo instead. I will place it over here and I will hide this one. I will simply press Control or Command S. Why is it not? Letting me do this? Can't save this document because of the original file format. Okay? So we will basically have to, I guess gesture is this. Okay? And if there's not working, you cannot save the file using the file as is. So total risk models will not be updated. Why is it not working? Maybe we will have to delete this. Let me read it properly. I have a bad habit of not reading and save this document back to its original file format, flatten layers and discards extra data. As necessity. It is telling me to flatten the layers. Now I can press Control or Command S. But yeah, if for some reason it is, it wants me to flatten the layers, I selected both of these layers and I press Control or Command E to flatten them. Know I can come over here and as you can see that the logo is placed over here. Yeah, whenever you want to add them new logo, create a new layer first and then add the logo on top of it. So we are covered with this. Now we can change its color to whatever we want. Maybe something like this or maybe something like this over here. Yeah, Basically, whenever you see a mock-up like this on the Internet, this is how they make it. It is very simple. So this was pretty much it on how to make a T-shirt mockup and a pretty mock-up. I really hope that you guys enjoyed this and I will see you guys in the next class. 11. Multi Editable MockUp: Hey guys, in this class we are going to learn how to basically create a multi editable mockup in Photoshop. So what do I mean by that? Let me show you the original image first. So this was the original image, and then I've put our design on top of them. Let me open this. Basically you can see that this is a smart object, means it is editable. And if I open this, the thing about this is that when I will edit just one design, it will get updated on all of these. Let me show you. So let's create a hue and saturation adjustment layer over here. And let's change the color of all of these. So let me change the color all of these to maybe something like this, blue to overhear. It is purple at the moment. But when I will press Control or Command S over here, you will see that it has been updated on all of these. Not a good example, I know. But let's change it to something else, maybe like this rather than greenish. So I will press Control or Command S. And it has been updated on all of these. How cool is this? Let me select and delete this and let's make it from the start. Okay? So the first thing which you have to do is basically you will have to select all of these cans and put them on a separate layer so that we could basically put their design on top of them. So I haven't come over here and select the Quick Selection Tool. And I will select all of these cans individually. But let me come over here. And it's not very difficult because there is a lot of contrast with the background. You will have to adjust it a little, but it is not such a big deal. Yeah. Let me fast-forward this so that I won't waste your time with the selection. Okay. So I have made the selection of the first scan and before I do the other ones, I thought I would basically tell you how to do this. I will press Control or Command J to make a copy of this. And I will rename this, let's call this and one. Then for the other ones I will also do, can do and can treat. So I'm going to fast-forward this again. Okay, so I'm done with the selections now. And as you can see that all of these are on a separate layer. And now we can place our design on top of them. So now we're going to do is before we placed a design, we are going to basically make a rectangle over here, okay? So that basically we could convert that rectangle into a smart object and place everything on it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to select the rectangle tool over here. On the top most layer, I'm going to basically create a rectangle about the size of the can. I'm just eyeballing it. It doesn't have to be perfect. Okay? Now I'm going to basically convert it into a smart object. And let's call it design. Let's call it design do because this is going to be on top of the second GAN. Okay? So now what we have to do is basically make a couple of copies of it. I'm going to press Control or Command J a couple of times to make two more properties of it. So let's call this one design, one. And this one design. Basically, these are copies of the same smart object. I will put this over here, then this over here, and then this over here. Okay? So this is the magic of making multiple copies of the same smart object. Let me show you how. If I move these to the side, and if I change color of one of them, just if I double-click on this and if I change color of one of them and hit Okay, then I will press Control or Command S. It will get updated on all of these out. We'll press Control or Command Z and let me hide the rest. I would simply work on the design number two. Okay, So let me decrease its opacity. Press Control or Command D. This is a smart object. We can edit it whatever way we like. And it won't affect the actual smart object. I will simply put it over here and then I will right-click on this, click on walk. And now we can bring all of this in. All of this out. It doesn't have to be perfect because we have the selection of the can and it will look good either way. Let me put this over here. Okay, this looks alright. Now what I can do is I can simply clip it down. And just like that, we have this on top of this. And now I can use its opacity. Similarly on this one, this InDesign number one. I can put this over here. And let me decrease the opacity for this. Now, let me toss from it. This is the thing about smart objects. When you have a smart object, you can basically do whatever you want to it, and it won't affect the actual smart object, actual design which you have been either right-click on this, warp it. So I think I will speed up from over here that I won't waste your time. Okay. So now I'm done with these. We have three cans and we have to be smart objects on top of them. From now, it is very simple. All you have to do is basically double-click on any of these smart objects. So I will double-click on this. And over here, I will place my design. I'm gonna go to my design files and I have this really nice kind of grapes pattern over here. I'm going to drop it over here. No, I can basically resize it. And as soon as I will press Control or Command S on it. You can see that it has been updated on all of them. Cool. Is this let me close this. And on this one, you can see that it has been updated over here. But the thing is that it doesn't look realistic. All you have to do is basically change the blend mode of all of these diverse. Simply select this one and change it to Multiply. You can see the shadows over here now, then over here, change it to multiply. Then over here, change it to multiply. And we are done. Now. We can basically edited if you want greater UN saturation adjustment layer over here, maybe change the colors to something crazy like this. Or maybe this is totally up to you and it will be updated over here. But yeah, this was pretty much it on how to make a multi editable mockup. Because there are times when you have a scenario like this and you don't want to make a smart object for every single design because every single can, because it is going to be the same anyway. So yeah, I hope that you guys really enjoyed this class. And I will see you guys in the next one. 12. MockUps With Realistic Shadows: Hello guys, welcome to the last mock-up tutorial of this course. But to be honest, it doesn't end there. Even after the course. If you find something you want me to make a mockup of or teach you something. You can always request it in the discussion section and I will try to make a tutorial on it as well. In this class, basically, we are going to learn how to create very realistic mock-up with the shadow as well. As you can see that this was the original image which I had. And then I've placed this image on top of it. I basically cut out the subject and I also use the actual shadow of the subject. This is the final version. Let me select and delete all of this and let's make it from the start, okay? So I will go to the asset files over here. You can find them in the project files you will download. I have already used this one and let me drag and drop this one. Okay? Like I always say, the mockup of any design should be as realistic as possible. That is the whole goal of any mockup. Let me resize it a little. And I guess this is alright. Okay. The first thing which we will do is basically we will create a selection of all walks over here. I will come over here and select the Quick Selection Tool. And select subject would be enough to make a selection of this. Let me try making a selection using Select Subject. And I will simply hit, Okay. And it did a pretty good job. But the problem with this is dead. There is no proper shadow with it. No problem. We will come back to this later. But let me resize this a little. Let me make the make the box a little bigger. I guess this is all right. The next thing which we are going to do is basically we are going to place our design on top of it. So we have already covered this in one of the lectures using the vanishing point filter. I'm going to create a new layer over here. And then I'm going to basically go to the vanishing point filter. But before that, let me go back and draw my pattern over here. Let me drop it over here. This looks all right. And let me do rasterize it. After that, I will simply click on this area, not this area, the thumbnail area by pressing Control or Command. And it will select all of this. No, I can simply press Control or Command C to copy it. And I can hide this layer. Now, I will create a new layer. Let me bring this down. And on this layer we are going to basically deduce the vanishing point filter. I'm gonna come up over here, click on Filter and then click on vanishing point. As you can see that I have already created it before. This is for the previous design. So I can simply press backspace to delete it. And let's make it from the start. So let me move it to the side and let's try making this dog here. And then I will have to extend it. All I have to do is simply press Control or Command. And then I can extend it like this. And if it is not working out properly, you can simply press over here. Let me extend it first. Then you can simply press Control or Command and bring it up like this. And from what here as well, make sure that decision nodes red, otherwise it won't work for you. And finally, we are going to extend it from overhead. So I'm going to press Control or Command and extended this. Let me extend it to the side a little. I guess this is alright. So even if you are going out of bounds, no problem, because we are going to basically, we have the selection of the whole in already. Now I'm going to paste the design over here by pressing Control or Command V. Let me resize it a little. And I will simply place it over here. As soon as I will place it, it will get resize accordingly. Let me resize it a little more like this. And I guess this Perfect. Okay. No, I was simply hit. Okay. So I know it is going outside the bounds and it'll no problem. It will simply clip it down and all the edges are gone. Now we have to make it more realistic. All you have to do is simply select this and just blend mode to multiply symbol. Okay? Another we're going to do is the last thing which is left is that we have to bring back the shadow. So if I turn on this layer, you can see that we have the shadow over here, but we don't, but we cannot cut it out. We cannot mosquito. So there is a very special technique for it. Let me show you. I'm going to turn on this layer again. Okay, I'm going to make a selection using, I will make a mask on this using this selection. To all I can do is simply click over here by pressing Control or Command. And I will have the selection. Now, I can turn this off and make a mask on this as well. But I would simply click over here. And I have created a mask on it, but I want to reverse it like the opposite of this. I would simply select this and I will press Control or Command Shift I, or is it not working? But it is Control or Command Shift V basically have a cut out of the background. Over here. And over here we have the actual subject. Okay? Now what we will do is we will simply change the blend mode to Multiply. I know you must be thinking that multiplies the answer to everything in mockup. Be honest pretty much yes. Driver change it to multiply. But as you can see, that this isn't something which is looking very good. But let me turn this on. Another we're going to do is we are going to basically create a curves adjustment layer on top of it. Okay? I'm going to select this and create a curves adjustment layer. And the fingerboard goes, it just wanted data is data. Using this, we can basically alter or multiply layer. All I will do is simply clip it down. Okay? I hope I'm not going too fast. Then I will bring this to the left. By doing so, basically, I am removing the black areas and then I will bring this over here. You will start to see that V are starting to reveal the shadow. Oh, poor list this, but I can do it a little too much, but it looks really weird. I just wanted to make it. So I don't want to bring in white too much. Otherwise, it will go away. And I don't want to bring in black too much. So we have to find the sweet spot where there are no extra areas. And also we could see the shadow, I guess. All right. This looks alright. Okay. Now we can zoom out a little and let me bring this up. Don't worry, I will do a recap for you as well. So let me select all of this and group. This is the before, and here's the after, and we have the shadow as well. So if you are confused about the shadow part and let me show it to you again. All we did was basically we created, we created a mask on the background layer. Let me turn this off. You can see that it is an opposite mask. Let me click on this again. And then we created at curves adjustment layer on top of it. By doing so, we remove the black parts of it. Okay, so let me click on this again. Let me bring this down. It was originally like this. By bringing in these areas, we removed the black parts, and by bringing in this area, we have basically reveal the shadow. This is all right. This is pretty much it. This is how you can basically make a realistic mockups with shadows in Photoshop. This will come in really handy for you and you can make some amazing mockups using this. And even if you open web sites like Creative Market and what to and other websites, you will see that there are a lot of mock-ups which looked like this. And they basically do the same thing. And there is one more thing. If you are selling your mockups and make sure that you rename your layers like that color layer or the shadow layer or anything like that. Because the person who will be downloading your mock-up, you have to make sure that you bring value to them. You basically provide a good experience to them. This was pretty much it. I hope that you guys really enjoyed this tutorial. I hope this wasn't too long for you, and I will see you guys in the final videos. So bye-bye. 13. How To Sell Your Mockups: Welcome back guys. I hope that you're doing great and I really hope that you had a really nice time watching this course. And I hope that you know how to make realistic mock-ups properly. But now we are basically going to learn how to sell them as well. Like I told you before, that there are basically two uses of mockups. Why people learn how to make mockups. Number one is to present it as I understood their clients in a very realistic way to make sure that they wouldn't know, but they will be getting. And the second one is selling your mockups. So I have mentioned giving you a PDF in the project files which you will download. And over there, if I open this, you can see that I have this pdf over here. If I open this, you can see all the websites which I have opened over here. Going on all of these websites, you can basically sell your designs. E.g. if I write a mockup over here, this is Creative Market, one of the best marketplaces for selling designs and asserts, you can see that all of these are paid. You can upload your mock-ups over here. This is the one which we made in the previous class and you can sell them. So how do you sell them? It is very simple. It isn't a no-brainer. All you have to do is simply find on the website where it says something like open a shop to work your market. You create a sharp on it. On graphic river, you click on Start Selling and then you can create an account on it. There are some that some of these websites basically approve you and some of them that you sell instantly. Then we have Adobe Stock, which also says cell. There is one more thing. You can create a single mockup and upload it on all of these websites because there is no problem uploading on all of them. And you can get sales from a single mock-up on all of these upsides. In part two elements, I guess you will have to scroll down and click on become an author because on Envato Elements and altered or someone who sells their designs. And on free pig, you can also click on cellular content. I know this isn't something which is revolutionary or something like that. I just wanted to make sure that for those of you who don't know about this, they wouldn't know how to sell their designs. And there's one more thing. Whenever you upload a dying on one of these websites, make sure that it is high-quality content. No one wants to buy something which is of low quality and make sure that you rename the layers properly because it would be easier for the person who will buy it to use it. So yeah, this was pretty much it on how you can sell your designs, your mockups on different websites. I hope that you had a really nice time in this course and I will see you guys in the outro video. 14. Class project: Hello guys. I hope you're doing great. I hope that you had a really nice time in the course. The basically it is time for your class project and it is very simple. All you have to do is basically create a mock-up out of this cup over here. You have to place our design on it and the background as well. I have already given you five designs. So you can basically put any one of these over here and make sure that you put a proper background color as well. Yes. You will have to cut it out properly and you have to change the background to any other color. And to make sure that it looks realistic, your shadow should be over there as well. But yeah, this was pretty much it for your project. Make sure that you submit your projects to the project section because only then you will get your certificate for it. And after completing the project, make sure that you also send it to me on this specific e-mail. I'm going to put an e-mail over here. And I can't wait to see all of your projects. And I really hope that you guys have a really fun time making them. 15. What’s next: Congratulations, you have made it to the end of the course. I hope that you learned a lot from the course and I hope that you can make a mock-up out of anything. No. But if you still have any difficulty making any kind of mockup, you can make a request to the discussion section and I will make sure to make a video on it. If you have taken this course, you probably knew the basics of Photoshop. But if you want to go pro, I haven't advanced course on Photoshop as well, which will definitely help you. Apart from this, I would highly recommend that you learn illustrator as well. Because making mock-ups is just one part. You need to learn how to make art board for the mock-ups as well. So for that, you can take my beginners or advanced course on illustrator. I have multiple courses on design 2D as well. So you can simply visit my profile to check them out. I guess this is by far No, I wish you all the best and I hope to see you in another one of my courses.
