Eco Academy mock-up

-

It was my first attempt at doing mock-ups. I am glad that I learned how to do it because that would change  my digital art projects and I could work much quicker. Using a photoshop is much more complicated than procreate, however I am enjoying that.

  



First I followed some online tutorials of " How to mock up in photoshop", however much more helpful was when Jurian explained to me everything step by step. There is a lots of think to remember and it is difficult for me for now, all the layers and tools hidden in photoshop but I am getting there. 
This time I chose water bottle a PE bag to mock up and basically I focused on the layers and smart object. If the picture is converted to a smart object, we can do mock ups by changing colors or pictures , even the light and shadows.

This ID mock up I did in procreate. I covered the picture with a rectangle shape and I filled the shape with the light color. The same which I used to make Eco Academy leaflet.


I was so focused on my work, that I completely forgot took some screenshots. The picture of the girl I cut out from that picture where the girl is presenting school logo on the uniform. Her name is a popular Ukrainian name and her surname is a mix of words Kyiv (capital of Ukraine) and polish surname. When I was working on the project, there was only one thing in my head - the War. Is difficult for me to do anything and stay focused , that is why I am adding Ukrainian theme to my work
                                   
The mug is my very first mock up done in photoshop and I am happy with the results. The picture is sharp and in a good quality, school logo is in the right place and  bright colours. Perfect! 



Big advantage of using photoshop to mock up product is fact that all the shadows and light stays on the picture. Moreover the logo doesn't look flat, it adjust to the mug shape, which is fantastic!

    The ideas regarding using the names and relating them to the current conflict could become part of your project - what if some elements of your package were aimed at fundraising for the people of Ukraine, for example?

    There is increasingly a case to be made for parts of your project being aimed at students and staff - mugs/tote bags for staff or visitors for instance.

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

-
Image
 Finally I was bereave  enough to experiment with the Photoshop to create the tote bag for the school. I  started with the mock up picture which I found on the free mock up website, and I downloaded it on the laptop.  After transferring the picture to the Photoshop I used a clone tool to remove the design which was already there, however a few minutes after I have finished designing the bag I learned how to do it in completely different way. I knew I am doing something wrong as it took me to long .    I used the same free background logo which I created earlier in Procreate . I fit it to the tote bag size and I saved the picture in jpg, choosing "file" and " save as"  on the left top corner . I am happy with the results, the picture is sharp in a good quality.

 In my project I will draw illustrations to a short story for children, therefore this research will help me to find information and answer to the big question: " What's make the great children book illustration? "  There is many factors what I need to consider before I will start drawing: - the age group.  - type an style of illustrations suitable for this age group - the book style - how many illustration I will include in my page. - what to avoid in the illustrations for children To decide in what style I will draw the pictures is also very important. Is that will be more cartoony or scary or is the pictures are relevant to the story. For example soft and gentle illustrations would not be perfect for a story about monsters. Go to the library an look at the real children's book is a good place to find the inspirations.  Is important to decide how many illustrations will be included in the book and what type of illustrations they are. That will affect to overal layo...

project plan schedule

During the meeting with the Tutor ,we have discussed everything regarding to my project. I have introduced my ideas and my first sketches to the book. "The magic of the amulet" is a story written by my friend's daughter. There are three main characters - Abby the little girl who lives on the tropical Island with her friends: Olivia the dolphin and Patrick the crab. I already know how they will look like. I need to think how to draw the Island and mermaids. In my head it will be a magical and colorful,  fantasy World.  My first idea was to draw 4 pictures based on the story and to make front and back cover. The Tutor advice was to create two more pages as the story will be more interesting and easier to read for the children. We talk trough every page and I am convinced now that is good idea to draw two additional pages. I will use Procreate and Flipsnack and I will make a mock book  to be able to see how will my book look in real life. I was so excided with this idea , th...
