Masterclass for Mockup : Make your design standout.

1. Intro : Creating a design that will stand out from the rest of the crowd can be tough, but Amaka can make your job easier. So what is mock-up exactly? Mock-up means of v to express any idea, design, or art work in realistic scenario to give the feeling on how the final product will look and feel in live environment. E.g. when a designer creates a logo design and show to the client, Sometimes it will not make an impact, but when shown as a mock-up by placing it on different objects. In a realistic scenario, it will make the logo stand out completely. The client will get a better idea on how the logo will look and feel. Live environment without spending any money on prince. Isn't that awesome? Hi guys. My name is Shiva. I'm a graphic designer and pretty mockups is one of my advantages to get good impression on my clients. That really helps me to make my designs standout. So I thought why not share this knowledge and experience with others? And here we are at the masterclass for mockup. In this class we will create different digital mockups like book cover, Russia, and T-Shirt. To make it easy to understand, I have divided this class into four levels. First, we will learn from the very basics, the novice level, where we will create a simple book cover mockup. Next is the apprentice level. Here we will create a tri-fold brochure and mockup with a new technique than the expert level. In this, we will create a mug mock-up. And finally, the master level. There we will create front and back T-shirt mockup and also learn about a displacement map. In-between. There will be a small class for the smart object that is very essential for the mastery level. We will be using Adobe Photoshop for this entire class. And if you don't have it, that's completely fine. You can get a 30 days free trial from adopt.com. I believe after taking this masterclass, your designs will stand out and you will be a master in creating your own mockups. Let's meet in the next class. 2. Novice Level : Book Cover Mockup: Before getting started, I have a request to make this course easy to understand. Just sit back and relax. Don't skip in-between and see this course until the end. After that, you can again see it and follow along with me. Let's get started. Creating a mock-up is so easy if you know the basics of it. In this class, we will create a simple mock-up. I've already prepared these two images. First, we will open the square book cover image, drag it inside the Photoshop. The first tool to create a mock-up is to use a image where everything is blank and its color is totally white. Let's drag the design image as well. But don't drop it over this image. Drop it on the new tab, or you can manually open it. Now, we need to copy this and paste it over on this book cover. To do that, we will first create a selection. Go to Select, click on all. It will select the entire document. Next we will copy it. Go to Edit, click on Copy. Open book cover document. Go to wet it again and paste it. Now the task is to mask this design according to the book or tap. The Move tool and make sure in the header section Show Transform Controls is check. Also the auto select option. This option gives you freedom to directly select any layer and also show the transform tools for it. While holding Alt and scrolling up, you can zoom in and just match this design from the corner. Zoom out and check the right side. Sometimes we are not able to see how much the design part is covering. To tackle it. They will reduce the opacity of the design. Now, we can see right through it and adjust all the sites. Right now we are in the mode of transformation. That's why the header option as totally different. So when you are done, click on taking the header. It will let you out from the transform mode, set the opacity back to 100%. Now over-designed placement is exactly where we want, but it's not looking realistic. This something that is missing from this design. And that is rule number two, shadows. Let me show you that trick now. Select the design layer and change the layer mode from normal to multiply. You see how realistic does it look now? Because only of these shadows and multiply mode multiplies the colors of the planning layer and the base layers, resulting in a darker color. Next 45 told you to add color in the background without disturbing the image, because right now the background is stick with the book. Normally I use a very simple technique for that. First, we will create a selection only on their design. Right-click and select pixels. We don't want any color inside the selection. Instead we want to add color outside the selection. We will inverse it, go to Select, click on Inverse. Now the outer portion is selected. Select the background layer and add an adjustment of solid color right above the background layer. You can directly pick yellow color from the book design. It's too bright. Let's take a lighter version of it. Hit okay. This is looking flat because the shadows are not visible. Just like how we did for the design layer. We will do the same, just change the normal mode to multiply. And there we have our shadows. Because we already created a selection, then created the solid color. It automatically added a mask on it. Only the selection portion will be visible. Dust of the selection will be height. So when we move this layer, you can see what actually happened here. This adjustment layer gives you freedom to change it to any color you want by just double-clicking on it. Let's choose light blue color. Hit OK. Select the design layer. Let me show you another technique to change the color of their design. Go to image adjustments. Click on Hue saturation. Here we will only change the hue values by just sliding. The color is changing because Hugh does not affect black and white. It only affect the mid tones. That's why it's work on this design layer. Choose the color blue. Hit Okay. Now by just adding these two layers, we created a mock-up. Isn't that easy? All the resources used in this video you can find in attachments. Let's meet you guys. In the next part, we will learn about Smart Objects. 3. What is Smart Object : Creation and Benefits: What is smart object? I have prepared this file in advance to show you the benefits of Smart Object and how to create it. You can see here two circles. One is red and another one is green. This red circle is a restful layer that we work on mostly in Photoshop. And then we have our two layers that are not smart object right now, but we are going to convert them into a smart object. Simply select both layers. Right-click on Layer, and select Convert to Smart Object. And that's it. It's easy as it looks. So now we have our smart object and a restaurant, but we can't see a difference between both layers. To show you there, Shift select both layers. And by holding Alt Shift, scale it down from the corner. Make them very small to look. After you are done, click on tech. Now again while holding Alt Shift, scale them up. Now when you click on Take, you will see the difference of a smart object is intact as how it was before. But on the other hand, the restaurant layer gets pixelated. So that's the major point of a smart object. It will not get pixelated until it was not scale up to its original size. Another major benefit is that it is at the table. There are two ways to edit it. First, by double-clicking on the layer, it will automatically open in a new document and you can easily edit the content of it. Let's close it for now. And second way is to right-click on the smart object layer and click on edit contents. As I said before, you can edit the content. Let's change its color to blue. Hit Okay. Now go to file and click on Save. To save this change, open the main document and you can see it already updated. Within seconds, it will take effect. Let me show you again by pumping out the window, click and drag it out. Since the circle color hit Okay. Go to File. Save. It didn't even take seconds. You can also press Control or Command S to save it, and it will automatically update in the main file. These two are the major benefits of using a smart object. Smart object plays a very important role in creating a mock-up. I hope you learn how to create a smart object and what are the benefits of it. In the next video, we will learn how to create a tri-fold brochure mockup in Photoshop by using a very interesting technique. Let's meet in the next video. 4. Apprentice Level : Tri-fold Brochure Mockup: In this video, we are going to learn how to create a tri-fold brochure mockup in Photoshop. So we're going to use these two image. First is the tri-fold brochure image, and second is the design image. First, we will drag the brochure image in Photoshop. You can see it's perfect for creating a mockup because it's so key plank. And we have these three sites. Let's write the design image in the center. Click on tech. There are three sites in the brochure design and also in the brush and image. But how will we place it? There are several techniques for it, but I will show you the most effective one by holding Alt Shift, scale it down according to the size of the brush and image. And click on Text. To make the placement as accurate and precise. They will need to do some preparation for it. Go to View and click on rulers. Or you can press Control or Command R. Next by clicking and dragging to the right on the ruler, you can take out guides from the ruler, explicit on the left side. Create another guide on the right folder. Drag the vertical guide from the top. Another one for the bottom one. All guides are covering the corner now. To more guide for the partition of design. To be more accurate, you can zoom in and move the guides. Now photoshop have this amazing feature where you can easily grab any design you want to use it. Go to Edit and click on perspective. Right now we are in the layout mode. You can see it in the header. In this mode, we will create three shapes. First, create a rectangle from the left corner and covered it to the bottom. Because of the guides, it will automatically snap. That's why we created these guides. Fit another from the central corner and drag it to the bottom. Notice my mic close to shapes, it will automatically snap with each other. Like a magnet is working between them. This message telling us when we created the quad shapes, you can change the mode from layout to wrap. Here in the header you can see the red button. Let's create the last rectangle from the corner. Here is the magnetic effect. Deletes the click and it will snap. Now let's switch to the warp mode. Click on here, the shapes is gone, but we have these points. By just moving these points were actually able to modify the shape of their design. We cannot see the brochure image to fix it. Set the opacity to 28 per cent because it added a transparency. We can directly see right through it. Now we just need to start adjusting the points according to the brochure image. Always pros check the points. Zoom in if needed. This process takes time, but the result worth it. Then you are done. Click on taking the header. Because we applied this technique on a smart object, it added a smart filter calls perspective on it. We can hide and unhide the effect. Let's set the opacity back to 100%. If you think you want to read, just re-design. Just double-click on the perspective rep and start adjusting the points. When you're done with the changes, click on tech. I think we need to adjust this point. Double-click, move it to the top. Click on take. That said, Isn't this feature very easy to use? We don't need the ruler and the guides. So press Control or Command R to hide the ruler and go to View. Click on Clear right. Now the most important part, set the blend mode of this layer to multiply. This mode always work if your background image is blank. Next we will add a background, but it will be a little different from before. This time, I'm not going to create a selection. Add an adjustment layer of solid color. Let's see what will happen. Next. Pick the color from the designer. Because the color is too bright, it is not going to work. Let's choose a light color. Hit, okay? But still, it's messing with our design. To make things better. Let's set the blend mode to multiply. So you see, no matter how much we try, we need to subtract the selection of the design from the main color layer. Let's do that. Right-click on design layer and select pixels. It created a selection of the design. Next, select the mask. And keep looking here. When we click on the mask, there are only two colors, black and white. Because the mass can be filled by only two colors, black or white. The black layer will hide the image and white color will show the image. So when we select the mask and switch the color from white to black, now take the paint bucket, tool. Mask is selected, selection is already filled the black color inside it. Now, this color is not affecting over design at all. Go to Select and click on de-select. By double-clicking on the layer, we can change its color to any color we want. Or even when we reduce its opacity, it is not affecting over design. Because the mask is filled with the black color. I hope you learn something new in this and in the next video, we are going to learn how to create a mug mock-up. 5. Expert Level : Mug Mockup: So far we have created a simple mock-up, a tri-fold brochure Markov by using perspective. And also got the understanding what is a smart object, how to create one and what are the benefits of it. In this video, we will go one level up and create a coffee mug mock-up. This is the image of mug that we are going to use to create this mock-up. This is also available in the attachments. First, drag the image in Photoshop. Now we will create a design. So you will know how we take the ratio of their design according to the mockup. First, take the rectangle tool and create a rectangle from the left top, covering the entire cup. I'm using yellow color. You can choose whatever color you want. Double-click on Layer to rename it as color. Then right-click and convert this layer to smart object. Double-click to edit the content. We will first create a good design for the mug mock-up. Take the text tool. Click one time. And the font I'm using is master of brick red color. You can easily find this font online. Start typing coffee. Increase its size. Take the Move tool and place it in center. While holding Alt or Option, drag the coffee text below. It will create a duplicate copy. Double-click on text layer and rewrite this text as mug. Take the Move tool and place it right below the coffee text to give it a styling effect. Select the coffee text and press Control or Command T to transform. And while holding Control or Command, drag the right side of the text to the top. Press Enter. Same thing we will do for the MCQ text controller command T transform. Move to the top. To get out from the transform mode. You can also take in the header while holding Shift, select both texts layer and move them in the center. Next, select the color layer and add an adjustment layer of gradient. Click on gradient to edit, expand the basic group, select the black and white one. Hit, okay. Change the style from linear to radial. Let's see how it looks. This is looking good. Hit, Okay. Now go to Filter Pixelate, Color Halftone. This popup is asking better to convert it into a smart object or rasterize it. As we know, smart object has its benefits. So convert to smart object here, set the radius to 20 and dust of the value will be zero. Hit, Okay? Right now the effect is disturbing the texts. So set the blend mode to color burn. It gave it an orange look because the base color is yellow. To make it more appealing, set the opacity to 30%. Now it's time to make the text standout. First select the coffee text and press Control or Command J to create a duplicate layer. Now press Control or Command Backspace to fill the white color. Drag this layer right below the coffee texts layer. To move the layer little bit. Use the left hand down key in your keypad. Repeat the process for the MCQ text. Press Control or Command J to duplicate it. Control or Command Backspace to fill the white color. Drag the layer below the MAC layer, move it left and down with the arrow key. You can see the texture is looking much more appealing. Now, let's save this design and go to File, click on Save. And because it's a smart object, it will get updated in our main file and there is our updated design. Now the shape of this design is totally flat rectangle, but it needs to be according to the shape of the mug. To adjust it, go to Edit, click on transform, and select what. You can see some points in the corner that we are going to adjust. But before that, reduce its opacity so that we can see the shape of the month. Now slowly, step-by-step, select the points and adjusted. These are the handles that will be used for adding curves. So each point have two handles to adjust. If your design is going out of the shape, that's completely fine. We will use another technique to fix that. Just be sure every part of the monk is covered. You can also directly at just the curves. Now there's another part that you need to be concentrated after you have adjusted the outer part. That is the inner part, I just go inside the design. By moving it slightly to the top and then slightly to the bottom. You need to visualize how the texts will revolve around the cup. The corners will be narrow and the middle portion will be white. These small changes will make your design to look more realistic. You are done. Click on taking the header. Let's work on the outer portion that is going outside of the shape. Full-time, hide the color layer and select the background. We will create a vector shape of this image. So take the pen tool, make sure to select the shape in the header. Choose any color you want in the fill. Let's select you. Outline will be none. Zoom in and start creating the shape. Pen tool is very easy to use. You just click one time from where you want to start, and it will automatically create a shape layer. Again, click and track. If you want more controlled by holding Alt or Option, click on the point, and then click and drag. This is a time taken process. You can also use any other tool if you want. But this tool is very precise. You can also reduce its opacity to see the clear view of the shape. Let's reduce the opacity mode. I'm doing it fast. You can take your time. When you're done with the shape, make its opacity 100 per cent. Let's create the hollow part as well. Hide this layer for now. Take the pen tool and create a shape of the hollow part. Reduce the opacity if necessary. When you're done, unhide the shape one layer. Choose a darker blue color for the shape to layer. We cannot see because the opacity is just three-person, set it to 100%. Now to cut this portion from the main monk shape while holding Shift, select both layers. Right-click much shapes. To select the hollow part. Take the path selection tool. Click on it. And in the header, select subtract front shape to deselect, click on outside. Now we're ready to put this shape in action. Take the move tool, unhide the design layer selected. Set its opacity back to 100 per cent. Select this shape layer. By holding Control or Option. Click on Shape Layer window, it will create a selection of the shape. Now select the design layer and add a layer mask on it. You can see only the selected part is visible, rest of the part is master. Genes, a shape layer color just as redesign color. Pick it directly from the design color. Hit. Okay. Let's rename this color layer design. Next, running the shape layer as color. Now it's making more sense. Hide the design layer by holding Control or option. Create a selection of the color layer. Hide the color layer as well. Select the background. Now press Control or Command G to create a duplicate layer of the selection. Now when we hide the background layer, you can see we have our isolated mug without a background. Unhide the background layer and drag this layer right above all layers. Unhide, redesign and color layer and hide the background layer for now. Rename the layer one as shadow and set its blend mode to multiply. It looks a little realistic now, but it will get better. Right-click and create a duplicate layer. Name it as shine one. Hit Okay? And move the blend mode back to normal. We need to add more contrast to this image to get a better result. So add an adjustment layer of levels. Here we will not disturb the highlights. Move the mid-tone arrow to the right. Next slide the dark arrow as well. It will create a more dynamic contrast. This is looking pretty great. Now we need to apply this additional layer on this layer while holding Shift select both layers. Right-click. Merge layers. Rename it again as shine one. Now the important part, set its blend mode to overlay. It will add the color dynamics. Let's set its opacity to 70 per cent. Right-click on layer, duplicate it, rename it as shine to hit. Okay. This time set the layer mode to screen. It will only show the highlights. Black color will be not visible in this blend mode. Let's reduce its opacity to 40 per cent. This is looking pretty realistic to me. Unhide the background layer and see what a good mockup which has created while holding Shift, select Shadows, shine one and shine to layer, and drag it on the Group icon to create a group. Rename this group as effect. Naming and grouping the layers is as important as the file. It should be well-structured, easy to use, so that anytime anyone use your file, they will never get confused. Let me give you a small free tape. Some of the halftone effect is applied on the places where it shouldn't be. To fix it. Selected design mask. Take the brush tool, reduce its size to something about 18 pixel. Set the hardness zero. Choose black color, and paint over the portion where you do not want this effect. Black color will hide the design layer and white-collar will show it. Do the same process on the top. Now we have successfully created our mock-up. It's time to make this design more pleasant table. While holding Shift, select all layers and group except for the background, and drag it towards the Group icon. Rename this group as mockup. Let's add a background. Expand the group by holding Control or Option. Click on Color layer to create a selection. Now go to select an inverse, the selection. Select the background and add an adjustment layer of solid color. I'm choosing yellow color because it's matching with their design. Hit Okay, and set the blend mode to Multiply. I think we can choose a lighter color of yellow. This looks good. Hit, Okay. And we have finally created a coffee mug mock-up. It is customizable, realistic, and very easy to use. If you are able to create this mockup, then you are already at the expert level. But if you want to get to its mastery level, see you in the next video where we will create a T-shirt mockup. 6. Master Level : T-shirt Mockup: In this video, we are going to create a front and back mock-up of T-Shirt. I have already prepared a t-shirt front and back image, selected and open it in Photoshop. This image is a PNG and background is already removed. This type of images makes over work a lot more easier. There are many Microsoft websites where you can download these kinds of images. Now we will create a displacement map of this image. Literary, I will tell you what is its use. Now go to file and click on Save As name it as T-shirt mockup displacement. And make sure to set the type as PSD. Click Save, Hit. Okay. Now let's keep this image or background. Add additional layer of gradient. Click on gradient to edit. Expand the basic group, select black and white. Here, click on Color and change the color from black to light tray. He took a thrice. Now move this layer right below the image layer and rename it as background. Right now both the t-shirt or on a single layer, we need to separate them. So select the layer and take the rectangular marquee tool and create a rectangular selection. On the left t-shirt, right-click and select layer via cut. Now we have two separate layer folder, t-shirt, rename them. This will be front, and this will be back. In the last video, we created a selection with the pen tool, but here it is not the case. We can directly create the shape layer for the color. Let me show you how. Right-click on back layer and select pixels. Make sure you are right-clicking on the window. Now right-click on the selection and select Make Work Path, set. It all runs one pixel. Hit Okay? It automatically added the path. Zoom in. You can see how accurate it is. Only because the image is high resolution. If the image is smaller, we will not able to get a good result. Right now. It just avert path. It is not a shape layer. To convert this part into a shape layer, add an adjustment layer of solid color. Let's choose yellow color. Hit Okay. Rename this shape layer as color. Drag the color layer right below the back layer. Same thing we will apply for the front image. Select it, right-click on window, select pixels, right-click on the selection, click on Make Work Path, set the tolerance one, hit, Okay, and add an adjustment layer of solid color. Choose the color yellow. Hit, Okay? Right now the color code, these two layers is different. How to use a single color code? For this, select the bottom color layer, hide all the top layers. Double-click on Layer window and copy the color code. Okay, unhide the top color layer. Double-click on it, right-click and paste the color code. Hit. Okay. Now put the color codes will match. Rename this layer as color, and drag it below the front layer and hide all layers. While holding Shift, select the front layer, then the back layer, and set the blend mode to Multiply. I have already created a sample design that we are going to place on front and back. Select both of them and drag it inside Photoshop. Press Enter twice to place them, move them according to the sites. This will be back. This will be front. When you drag an image inside Photoshop, it automatically becomes a smart object. But this smart object have its own restriction. Like when we are going to edit the content, we can not have multiple layers inside it. So best way is to re-express the layer and then convert it into a smart object. Right-click on front design Rasterize Layer. Right-click on back design Rasterize Layer. Now we can convert both of them into a smart object. Let's reduce their size. While holding Shift, select both layers and while holding Alt Shift, scale them down from the corner. Then you are done. Click on tick. Please put design in the center of T-shirt. While holding Shift. Select friend design, front and color layer. Drag them to the group icon to create a group. Rename it as front. Move this group to the top. Now while holding Shift, select bag design back and color layer, and press Control or Command G to create the group. Rename it as back. Let's first work on the front group, expanded. Dread, the front design right below the front layer, so that we can see the shadow effect on the design. Let's hide it for now. Select the front layer. Change the blend mode back to normal. Right-click on it and create a duplicate layer. Hit. Okay? I think you know what I will do next, add an adjustment layer of levels. Because to get the better result we want the contrast. Slide the mid tones to the right. Highlights are looking to dwell. So slide the whites to the left and slightly to the right. These values will be changed. If you have a different image, you only need to be focused on the result, not on values. Now it's time to merge the image. But we will not, because right now we want the exact same adjustment layer on the bag design image so that the contrast of both image can be matched. So let's create a duplicate of it. Right-click, Duplicate Layer. Hit. Okay. Hide this for now. Drag it outside the group. Now, we can merge these two layers by holding Shift select both layers. Right-click. Merge Layers. Now rename this layer as shine effect of one press Control or Command J to create a duplicate layer. I think the top layer will be shiny effect one and bottom one will be shadow effect to front layer will be shadow effect. Right now the blend mode of all three layers is normal. But before we work on it any further, let's create the same layers for the PEG group. Expand the back group, select the back layer, change its blending mode back to normal. Hide the bag design for now. Right-click on back layer and create a duplicate layer. Drag the level of discipline layer we created earlier right above it, and hide the layer. And you can see the contrast of both images is quite similar. Now while holding Shift, select both layers, right-click. Merge Layers, create another duplicate Layer and rename them exactly how we did for the friend group. This will be Shine effect one. This will be shiny effect too. Lastly, shadow effect. Let's make these layers more structured while holding Shift to select all three layers and drag them to the group icon to create a group. Rename the group as effects. Do the same for the friend group. Drag the bag design below the group. Now, both the groups are well structured. We will first work on the front side, select the shadow effect layer, and hide the shiny effects layer so that we can see the result clearly. Set the blend mode Multiply. Shadow is applied on the color. Next, unhide the front design. Then select the Shine effect to layer and hide it. Set the blend mode to overlay. Set the opacity 70% to reduce its effect. Then select the Shine effect one layer, unhide it, and set its blend mode to screen. To set its opacity to 20%. We can also reduce the multiply to get more bright result. Select the shadow effect layer and set its opacity to 60%. Now when we change the color, the highlights, shadows, everything works accordingly. And because the mode of overlay, we can see dual tones. Let's cancel it for now. So these three blend modes are very important. Let's work on the bag group now. Select the shadow effect layer and hide both shine effect layers. Set the blend mode to multiply. And opacity will be 60%. Unhide the Shine effect to layer selected. Set the blend mode to overlay opacity 70%. On high China fact one layer, select it, set its opacity to 20%. Change the blend mode to screen. Everything is set. Unhide the design layer. The back T-Shirt is looking too dark. Let's set the opacity of that layer as 50 per cent and set the opacity of shine effect to layer as 60. Collapse both groups. And let me give you a free tip. If you change the t-shirt color to black, don't make it that black, choose a darker color of gray, otherwise the shyness will look too. But no issues with the white glow. Cancel it. Now it's time to use the adjustment map we created earlier. And the main purpose to use it because the Logo have all the lighting it needs. But it's not bending with the design. Like the texture of the t-shirt is not applied in the design. Also, there are several creases on the T-shirt, but it's not affecting the design. It should affect it. If it's placed on the t-shirt, it will make it more realistic. That's why we use displacement map. Let's apply the effect on back group first, because the quizzes are more prominent here. So select the bag design layer, then go to Filter. Distort. Displays. Set the horizontal and vertical scale as ten. Rest of the value will be the same. Hit OK. Select the PST we created earlier. Open it. Did you notice a change here? That's the work of displacement map. The texture is also applied in the design. So the crease, if you want to read it, just double-click on displays and change its value. Let's set the value five. Hit, Okay. Pick the PST, open it. There we have the changes, the effect is reduced. That's another benefit of the smart object where we can apply different filters and later we can change values anytime we want. Zoom out. Let's apply the displacement map on the front design and spell. Select the front design layer. Go to Filter, Distort, Displace. For both scale value will be five, hit Okay? Displacement PSD, and open it. You can see the displacement map is applied. Collapsed. Both groups. Select the friend group, Right-click. Select green. And for the back we will choose red color. Background layer will be CRE. By giving different colors, we can differentiate between layers and groups. Now, take the brush tool. We will create depth for both the T-Shirts. Select the top group, and create a new layer. Choose the color black. Hit okay, by pressing the right bracket key, you can increase the brush size. Make sure the mode in the header will be normal. Right-click and set the hardness to zero. Click one time in the center. While holding Alt or Option skew the height of depth and place it below the T-Shirt image. Skew its width as well. It should look like the t-shirt is flying in the air and shadow is on the ground. Just a heightened wait until you are satisfied. You are done. Click on take in the header. Set its opacity to 50 per cent. Take the move tool, rename this layer as depth. Expand the front group, and drag that layer right below the color layer. Create a duplicate copy of it. Expand the back group and place it right below the color layer. By holding Shift and right arrow key, move it to the right.
