Mockups are an incredible sales tool when you're promoting your own digital products, artwork, or selling freelance work to a client for final approval. Using Photoshop to place, or “mock up” your designs on real products can make them look as though they really exist. This can help a client imagine their logo better, or your social following to see your artwork at its absolute best.
Mastering Mockups
Photoshop your designs onto any product!
Any of these sound familiar?
Selling your Services
You know images can be convincing to buyers. You need better examples of your lettering services or artwork on different products, but you don't want to pay to produce them.
Portfolio Prep
Maybe you're a designer getting your portfolio prepared for interviews. Looking through your projects, they don't feel entirely complete. You could use some more artwork examples, but you aren't sure how to make that happen.
Product Development
You just started your own stationery line and want to get opinions on what greeting card to produce next. Money is tight and you don't want to make the actual card options - you just need images of what they would look like.

Create powerful images
Capture the Sale
It's no secret that images help sell products and services. By showing your lettering in multiple scenarios or your design work on tshirts, canvas bags, stationery and bus wraps, you're able to prove the value of your work more convincingly than a graphic on white. And all it takes is a little time in Photoshop, without a penny spent on actually producing those items.
Capture the Job
If you're a designer, having a portfolio filled with well rounded projects helps you to stand apart. Using designs you've already created, you can add so much more to each project by utilizing mockups to tell a full story without any overhead costs.
Make Better Choices
By mocking up different artwork you'd like to produce, you'll know ahead of time what to expect a final product to look like. If you're a pattern designer ready to invest in a line of pillows for example, you can mock up your favorite patterns on pillows using Photoshop, and can move forward with confidence with which pattern is best.
Social Media Standout
Need more images for your different social media accounts to grow your following? By creating mockups of your work, you'll not only create a beautiful and diverse feed, you'll also show your strengths as a designer.

Hey! I’m Teela and I help creatives build and improve their digital skills to open new opportunities.

Greeting Card Image
Follow along in video 1 using this image to create a simple, single use mockup.
Business Cards Image
In video 2, we use this image to create a simple, multi use mockup. Once finished, you'll be able to easily change the card designs with a couple of clicks, so you can use it over and over again.
Tote Image
In video 3 we use this image, utilizing a displacement map to have our designs conform to the folds and texture of the tote's fabric.
Coffee Image
In video 4, we create a mockup where the design conforms to the curves of this coffee mug for a realistic outcome.

In this class, we'll go from the super simple, one time mockup in Photoshop for a social media post, to creating professional, reusable mockups that range from simple (straight on images) to complex (artwork that wraps around an object). Once you've created reusable mockups, you'll have them for life to use on any project - do the work once, use it to sell your work forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I access the class for?
Forever! As long as Every-Tuesday exists, this course will be available to watch. Take it at whatever pace you’d like, watch whenever, wherever and as many times as you’d like.
Will I be able to access all of the videos at once?
Yep!
What kind of software/supplies will I need to take this class?
You’ll need to be on a desktop or laptop computer with access to Photoshop, CS3 or newer. If you don’t have Photoshop, you can pick up a free 30 day trial at adobe.com/downloads
How is this class different from the one on Skillshare?
This is the same class, but it’s available as a one time purchase here, where you will receive lifetime access and qualify for future updates. Skillshare classes are not updated and you need to maintain an active subscription on their platform if you’d like to refer back to the course in the future. Yay, options!
I’m new to design or have little to no experience with Photoshop. Will this be too difficult for me?
Any new program takes a little getting used to, but the course is taught in a very beginner friendly “do this, then do this” style. Keyboard shortcuts are listed on screen with each step described as you go, so even beginners can achieve great results.
