Class Projects:

We will go through four different mock-up techniques, so by the end of this class you should have created four different projects!

First Technique: Creating a Mock-Up from scratch in Adobe Photoshop & in Adobe Dimension

For this technique we will be creating a very simple three quarter view of a popsicle box; we will create this box from scratch in Adobe Photoshop & in Adobe Dimension. We’ll do it in two different software so you can see which one works best for you!

{Curious to learn more about this design? Make sure to check out my Back of Pack class}

You will be able to find the working file here.

Second Technique: Working with Online Mock-Ups

For this technique we will be using an online mock-up of a PET bottle; we will go through online versus paid mock-ups and understand all their layers. We will create a bottle for kale juice!

If you’d like to use the same mock-up Yellow Images you can buy it from here; if not these are a couple of free alternatives option 1, option 2, option 3.

Third Technique: Creating a Mock-Up Using Stock Imagery

For this project we will use stock imagery to create super realistic mock-ups! We will create multiple mock-ups using multiple images from the same shoot a beauty brand serum.

These are the images used image 1, image 2 and image 3. More images from the same shoot/collection can be found here.

Fourth Technique: Shooting our own Mock-Up Compositions

For this project we will build our own photography studio and shoot unique compositions!
We will shoot one composition and use it for two very different projects; a playful ice-cream brand and a more premium body souffle.

You can find all the tools I’ve used for shooting this technique at the bottom of our Notion page here.

You can download the designs used here and here, I’ve also included a document with links to all the fonts used. I’ve also included the outline version of both designs so you can play around with mock-up experimenting without having any fonts.

Resources

• The workbook with all the key principles can be found here.

• First technique's files: The Illustrator file of the popsicle packaging can be downloaded here.

• Second Technique’s files: If you’d like to use the same mock-up Yellow Images you can buy it from here; if not these are a couple of free alternatives option 1, option 2, option 3.

• Third Technique’s files: These are the images used image 1, image 2 and image 3. More images from the same shoot/collection can be found here.

• Fourth Technique’s files: The designs used can be found here.

Deliverables

By the end of the class you should have at least four finalised mock-ups, one or two for the first technique, one for the second technique, one (or as many as you like!) for the third technique and last but not least two for the fourth technique.

Make sure to share your progress, questions, challenges and of course your final mock-ups in the project's gallery, I'd love to see what you come up with and what type of products you'll create mock-ups for!
