I took this class while in the middle of a personal project. While my Photoshop learning curve continues to be very steep and often frustrating, this class truly rescued me from the quagmire world of mock-ups and presentations.

I followed the class step by step and generated two mock-ups for my designs:

Case 1: Museum Gallery Mock-Up

Prompt: Wide Angle Shot of a large, sleek, minimalist picture frame hanging on a creamy marble wall surrounded by ornate brown marble pilasters on the left and right sides. The floor is tiled with brown marble. The pilasters form passageways. The scene is set inside a museum. Natural Lighting. 

Next, Upscaled, then desaturated the image because I wanted to create the contrast of a muted background and a very bold art print.

The art print is my original design.

Followed the lessons as well as I could and obtained very satisfactory results.

Case 2: Mock-Ups for a Museum Merchandise Brand (History-wares)

Prompt: Close-Up Shot of two 24 inch x 36 inch large sleek, minimalist, black picture frames leaning against an exposed brick wall. The room is lit with natural light from the large windows to the left. Black and White Photography. Mock Up Usage.

After basic upscaling, followed the steps in the class for generating mock-ups for frames at an angle. Still a little hazy in my understanding of how all of it works together, but the results are very satisfactory to me.

The art prints are my original designs for a personal project and the mock-ups are for a fictional museum merchandise brand (called History-wares).

Below are both the projects side-by side.

The class was very well detailed, easy to follow through and genuinely helpful. Me being a new designer, I was even considering getting a license for one of the asset sites, but they are all on the expensive side. This class helped me build custom ones for my needs that I could tailor as per my taste. Very thankful for the knowledge.
