"Work smarter, not harder. Focus on creating systems and processes that can help you achieve your goals.”

Ever found yourself spending way too much time creating mockups or doing repetitive tasks in Photoshop, like resizing designs? Do you wish there was a magic button to streamline everything? Well, I can't promise you a magic button, but I can help you work smarter with the magic of Photoshop Smart Objects!

As a fellow creative, I know the importance of having multiple streams of income. I also know, how time consuming each one of these streams can be. Which is why I love to find ways to work smarter, not harder.

Smart Objects are like the secret sauce for us designers. Whether you're an Etsy seller, a Shopify store owner, a surface pattern designer showcasing on print-on-demand platforms like Society6, or even if you're just looking to flaunt your artwork on social media through unique mockups, this tool is a game-changer.

And you don't even have to keep it to yourself: High quality mockups are always in demand and can be a great digital product to sell on Etsy or other online marketplaces like Creative Market, for example.

We'll start the class with an overview of what is a Smart Object and some pretty awesome uses for it.

Then, I'll walk you through the same process I use to create multiple size variations of a piece of art in order to sell as a digital art print on Etsy and to upload to my print on demand stores. This step takes minutes to set up and has saved me hours of work!

Next, we'll see how to create high quality mockups that you can sell as digital products. And last but not least, I'll show you how to create a template that allows you to create 10 mockups in seconds - literally.

And while these are the main topics, as someone who has been using Photoshop for over 20 years, I also couldn't help but share my favorite tips and tricks and some mini lessons in things like layer blending modes, time-saving keyboard shortcuts, clipping masks and other tools, including a bonus lesson in the Vanishing Point Filter.

This class is perfect for:

Creative entrepreneurs: Whether you run an Etsy shop or sell on print on demand platforms, this class will help you streamline your workflow
Surface pattern designers: If you create patterns and illustrations, mastering mockups will allow you to showcase your designs in realistic settings and attract potential clients.
Digital product sellers: Learn how to create mockups for your own digital products, like printables or templates, or even sell your own mockups
Anyone who wants to work smarter, not harder: Even if you're not a full-time designer or entrepreneur, this course can teach you valuable Photoshop skills for personal projects or social media

So, whether you're an artist looking to streamline your workflow, or someone looking for a way to make extra income online, this class is for you. The best part is that you don't even need to be a Photoshop expert to use this tool. Of course, having previous Photoshop knowledge is helpful, I always try my best to go into as much details as possible. And as usual, feel free to ask me any questions in the class discussions.

Don’t forget to grab your Photoshop Cheat Sheet from the class resources! You can also download it from my website, ByThaisQ.com/freebies where you can sign up to access my free Resources Library. There you can find reference images, color palettes, guides… I'm always adding new material!

Let's get started!
