MORE INFO / DOWNLOADHow To Easily Create A Napkin Mockup
I want to share with you my fast and effortless way of creating a realistic napkin presentation that ANYONE can do.
How?
With the use of an online mockup generator.
You don’t need software to create a mockup these days, thanks to my favorite platform, Placeit.
Here’s how it goes:
- Step 1: You should first visit Placeit where you can find 1,000s of mockups in various categories. Click the previous link or type in the search bar “napkin,” which will show you all their results.
- Step 2: Pick the template that you like the most and click on it.
- Step 3: My advice is to first import your design by pressing the “insert image” button. This allows you to test how well your design goes with the mockup. Remember, you can zoom in/out your design and reposition it, thanks to the convenient popup window. Press “crop,” and voila, your design is on the mockup!
- Step 4: You can also change the colors and personalize the look by adding text and/or a graphic.
- Step 5: Your work is now done, and you’re ready to press the “download” button to save your napkin mockup to your device.
How quick was this? I know, right?
However, you only need basic Photoshop skills when you work with a PSD template. The process is equally quick and simple but with more creative freedom.
After you import the mockup to PS, search for the smart object to drop your design, logo or pattern.
The layered structure ensures that everyone easily finds the elements he or she wants to modify. So play with the functions and turn things upside down until you’re satisfied with your first-class outcome.
