Course Description

Overview

Are you placing your artwork on the same mockups and photos as everyone else?

I want to teach you to build your own professional product and packaging mockups in Adobe Photoshop, yep - just Adobe Photoshop!


Why Adobe Photoshop?

  1. This method gives you full control of your mockups, unlike templates and stock photos.
  2. You don't need a fast computer, a full Adobe subscription or any 3D software.
  3. You build your mockups in real time, no hours of rendering. When you're finished illustrating, your mockup is ready.

In this class you’ll learn how to illustrate original and unique boxes, cans, bottles and bags, using the same techniques I’ve used for real brands like Axe (Lynx), Ola (Wall’s/Streets/Algida), Vaseline, Dove, Smirnoff, and Ariel.

You’ll also learn advanced mockup strategy:

  • The different types of mockups - Conceptual, Referenced and Realistic
  • Art Direction theory - lighting, framing, end use
  • How to simulate complex materials like plastic, glass and coated foil

All the original artwork from the lessons is included with this class so you can follow along and create exactly what you're learning.

WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?

This is a class for graphic designers, digital illustrators and anyone else who wants ownership of their mockups. Design students, small businesses, and teams who frequently work on products or packaging will also find value.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS CLASS?

You should have Adobe Photoshop (any version from CS6 - CC2021) installed, and an intermediate grasp of the software. No fast computer required! This class has been specially designed for anyone who can't/won't use Adobe Dimension, Blender or Cinema 4D. 

A drawing tablet is optimal but not required. An iPad Pro can also be used as a drawing input.

WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE THIS CLASS?

If you need one more reason, generic mockup templates can range from free to $20+ each, and in the time it takes to scroll through pages of options online, you could easily illustrate your own mockups exactly how you’d like.
