packaging mock up

Mockups are used in the consumer goods industry as part of the product development process, when the size, concept and/or artwork have to be approved.

The image above is the spread presentation of Homi Noodle packaging artwork.This artwork is a bit difficult compare to my previous mock-ups as it requires drawing skills to shape up the desired form but if you are persevering enough I believe you can make it. Listed below are the tools & effects I’ve used in this mock up using Photoshop.

1. Filter > Texture > Texturizer
2. Make shapes using Pen Tool for the Gloss Effect. Add Feather and lessen the Opacity
3. Filter > Liquify
4. Blending Options > Bevel & Emboss > Gloss Contour
Does it look real? Like you I am also amaze on what Photoshop can do and how it brings out and maximizes artist’s creativity. So if you are an artist, start today! learn Photoshop it’s enjoyable than you could imagine. The key is to keep playing tools & customizing options, trust me this is how I started.

I made this artwork for my dear friend Stacey. I chose this photo because it was my first time to see her wearing big eye glasses like a geek (which is unusual for a fashionable girl like her n_n). With Pen Tool & Fill customization in Illustrator I was able to make a detailed vector artwork. This is my token of appreciation to her for believing in my God's given gift. She is a wonderful person that this page is not enough to say how much I am grateful to have her as my friend ^-^

You may visit her @ www.staceyavenue.com, her blog posts are really interesting and absolutely worth reading ^-^

It gives me joy to create art that is enjoyed and esteemed by others. It is very overwhelming to hear how pleased they are every time they see my artworks. It inspires me and gives me power to create something better. My art is not just my passion but an extension of me - my special way of extending my love and gratefulness of having them in my life. With this, I can make them smile and let them know they have me to depend on.

Still, I want to give all the credits to the One who made me.
