As a designer, do you often struggle to find the perfect mockup that matches your design?
Mockups are a way to present your art realistically and appealingly. They can help you sell more of your artwork online by showing potential buyers how your art would look. Mockups can also enhance your professionalism and credibility as an artist.
In the past months, I have been showing you guys different prompts in crafting an amazing design that sells. Today, I will show you how to create mockups with Midjourney with the latest image editor.
“Zoom Out” gives users the ability to broaden the perspective of any image. The power of zoom is indeed more than just enlarging an image.
Today, I will share the trick of using the “Custom Zoom” feature to create impressive mockups with the new image editor that match your design. The content will be broken down into two parts
Part One: What is a Web Editor
Part Two: Creating Mock-up for Print on Demand Products
Part One: What is a Web Editor
The new web editor is a unified editor view that combines features including reframe/repaint/vary region/pan/zoom with a simplified interface
🎨 Usage: Users can simultaneously drag borders, utilize a brush tool, andchange the aspect ratio of the image on the canvas.
🚀 Improve Workflow: The editor streamlines the process by enabling users to perform several editing tasks at once, enhancing their workflow.
🖼️ Supported Images: Initially, the editor will only support editing images generated by Midjourney
With the Editor, you can
Repaint ( Erase/ Restore)Select and unselect the parts you want to edit and regenerate. This allows users to remove unwanted objects or fill in missing parts which works similarly as inpainting.
Return Action and Reset: Undo the action and reset to the original image
Scale: Scale is for zooming out images
Aspect Ratio: Select the aspect ratio for your new image.
Edit Prompt: Remix and edit your prompt to generate a new image
Part Two: Create mockup with Midjourney Image Editor
I will share a trick for using the “Custom Zoom” feature to create impressive mockups for 3 kinds with the new image editor that match your design for
1. Mockup for Print-on-Demand ( POD )products
2. Seamless patten on POD products
3. Logo design showcase
1. Creating mockup for Print-on-Demand Products
Step 1: Generate an image
Start with creating an artwork, a logo or an illustration.
Prompt: Bohemianism illustration of a bird with flowers around, dreamy pastel color of pink and amber
Step 2: Select the image you want to edit
Midjourney will return 4 images to you. Pick the one you wish to edit. Select the image and select “Editor” on the sidebar to open the editor
Step 3: Edit Your Image
With the editor, you can zoom out your image and remix the prompt just like how “Custom Zoom” work.
Scale: Scale down the image
Edit Prompt
Modify the prompt to add in new context to your image.
Describe the mockup you want to create with the product and add any settings if needed like this below.
Prompt: Framed wall art sitting in a minimal bedroom
The mockup Result
With the new editor, you can not only control the scale of the image, you can also drag the image to whenever you want with the handle in the middle
This way you can position your image in the spot you desire
Here are more examples of getting your art printed on different products.
Left: Printed on mug sitting on the table Right: Printed on a cushion sitting on a sofa
2. Seamless Pattern on Print-On-Demand Products
Let’s look at another example of creating a seamless pattern. When creating a pattern, you will need to use the “--tile" parameter. These images are tiled, so they can be repeated to give a consistent look to a sizeable area.
Similarly, start by creating a pattern. Pick the one you like and open the image editor.
Prompt: Seamless pattern design, Japanese flowers and plants pattern, alcohol ink texture, dreamy pastel pink color with gold line --tile
Left: Printed on a wrapping paper sitting on the marble table Middle: Printed on an iphone case sitting on the table Right: Printed as a bedsheets in a minimal and classy bedroom
With the image Editor, you can change to aspect ratio simultaneously with the button on top or drag the handle on the side to create a custom size
3. Showcase Your Logo
The zoom-out feature also enables you to display your logo on corporate materials or product mockups, providing your clients with a sense of how the logo appears in a real-life context.
Take this as an example
Prompt: A romantic-inspired logo featuring delicate floral illustrations surrounding a candle, light beige and shades of brown, minimal style
Prompt: Printed on a candle gift package box sitting in the living room, white and beige style, minimal
Editing
If there are too much background, use the “Erase” brush to repaint the image
