Happy July, friends! Time is flying by, and I can’t believe we’re over halfway through 2021! You all have been creating some absolutely amazing artwork in the #CreateWithCatCoq challenge. Keep up the great work! In this week’s #CreateWithCatCoq challenge, we’re going to do something a little different! Today’s challenge is to design a product mockup with your artwork. |

What is a mockup? If this is your first time hearing the term mockup, no worries! Let me break it down for you. Mockups are digital representations of what your design will look like on a physical product. This makes it look like that product already exists even though it’s completely digital. Here are some examples of my artwork on product mockups. None of these are real products - they were all created digitally! |

Want to learn how to design mockups? Mockups can seem complicated if you’ve never worked with them before but it’s easier than you think! Last week you digitized your artwork, so getting it on a digital mockup will be simple. Most mockups come in ready-made files that you can drag and drop your design into. With a few small tweaks, you can make it your own, and voilà! Your design is on a product! If you want a simple intro to mockup creation, I broke down the entire process step-by-step in this blog post. |

If you want to take a deep dive into product mockups I also have a whole Skillshare class dedicated to creating them! In this class, you’ll learn how to design ten different mockups that will make your artwork stand out. And the best part? The class and the mockup files are completely free when you sign up for a free trial with Skillshare! |

I can’t wait to see your artwork on products! To participate in this week’s challenge all you need to do is share your mockup on Instagram using the hashtag, #CreateWithCatCoq. I’ve also been sharing participants’ artwork, so be sure to tag me @catcoq for your chance to be featured. I am so excited for you all to stretch your creativity this week and for you to get the chance to see your designs on actual products! |
