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 Photoshop, and Only Photoshop.

Mockups templates and stock photos are great, convenient and fast but they don’t give you full control of your work.
In this class you’ll learn how to illustrate original and unique boxes, cans, bottles and bags in Adobe Photoshop, 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 strategies:

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.

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 - CC2020) 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.
