Photoshop: Designing Package Mockups

When you're designing a package, clients and other stakeholders often want to see how your design will look when it's put on a box, a tube, or other object. That means you need a mockup.

In this course, designer Derrick Mitchell presents a step-by-step guide to creating professional package mockups using Adobe Photoshop. Get started by exploring the differences between mockups and press-ready files to ensure you understand when, why, and how to use each. Learn how to find, use, and even create your own templates to jump-start the design process, as well as how to incorporate smart objects, add realistic shadows and highlights, and apply custom backgrounds for unique variations. This course also covers efficient exporting techniques to showcase finished mockups to clients or team members.
