MORE INFO / DOWNLOADHow To Easily Create An Ice Cream Mockup?
You have two options to create a realistic presentation of ice cream: With an online mockup generator or Photoshop.
I like the generator more because of its extreme simplicity, but unfortunately, there aren’t many available on this topic.
For this reason, I worked with PSDs way more, and they also give you more creative freedom.
The method of creating a mockup is very straightforward:
- First, open Photoshop and import your desired template.
- Second, search for the smart object layer, double-click on it and slide in your design.
- Third, have some fun with performing additional customization tweaks, like changing the colors, the background, altering shadows, and more.
- Fourth, you’re DONE!
That wasn’t too bad, right?
This process just shows that anyone can create a photorealistic ice cream mockup, regardless of their experience.
