Assignment:

For your class project, create a mock-up image using the techniques demonstrated in class. Please feel free to use your own photos, or if you'd like to follow along with me, you can download the photos used in class.

Example Project:

Image Sourcing:

For this class, I'll be using royalty-free stock images from Unsplash...click on the link to browse their gorgeous photo library: Unsplash

Taking Your Own Photos:

If you are taking your own photos, here are some helpful tip:

1. Make sure you have good lighting, natural indirect lighting works great, (e.g. next to a well lit window).

2. Use objects that are white in color and don't have a lot of texture (e.g. clean white tote bag, white pair of sneakers, smooth white wall...)

3. You don't need a fancy camera, your phone will work just fine, you can also edit the brightness/color directly in your phone. One of my favorite photo editing apps is the free version of A Color Story

Sharing Your Work:

I would absolutely LOVE to see your beautiful projects, so don’t forget to share your work by uploading to the “Project” gallery!

And if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, you can post your question in the “Discussions” tab and I’ll be more than happy to help!

Remember:

Feel free to return and rewatch any of the lessons.
If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed, start with a simple mock-up and get comfortable with the process, then at your own pace, gradually start creating more complex mock-ups.
And most importantly, have fun and enjoy the process!

If you'd like to learn how to create repeating pattern in the Procreate App, here are a couple link to my pattern classes:
