Skillshare - Create Realistic Mock-ups for Your Pattern Collection and Designs

If you are like me, then you love seeing your designs on real items. Nothing beats touching the real thing, but creating your own personal mock-up comes in as a close second.
See how I take an item, photograph it and turn it into a mock-up!
Have a fabric design collection you want to show off? Let's add patterns to our mock-ups.
Need to have a really flexible mock-up? Let's make the background color editable.
This class will be short and straightforward.
TOOLS:
Photoshop CC 2014 or newer
A computer
A camera/or camera phone (using a DSLR camera is preferred, but as long as the lighting is on point, anything can be used.
A white or light product/item
A white background (If you will be making the background color editable). Foamboard is a great option. If the background color is not important to you, it can be any color.
Optional: Other props that accent your main white item.
THE STEPS:
- Find a white item from around the house. Technically you could mock-up any color item but white or grey would work the best with blend modes and letting the texture shine through.
We will be mocking up a mug, hair accessories, and an infant onesie.
Since the editing process is basically the same for each item, feel free to jump to the mock-up lesson for your desired item.
- Photograph it outdoors or indoors (with great light).
- Edit the mock-up for future use with any pattern.
- Save as a jpeg and share!
Don't have the resources to start making something right now? That's fine...
My personal non-edited & edited mock-up jpg photos will be available in the resource section, so feel free to follow along and use them if you don't have the tools immediately on hand to create your own.
Can't wait to see your mock-up spaces and cool designs on products!
