What is also nice is that you can then save the proof and use it in your folio or website! I find I sometimes get as much enjoyment from creating the visual as I do the actual design. It is much better to create it for yourself, rather than use the synthetic looking template actions which are available.
I do the same, as not all client have the imagination to grasp what the final 'real' thing is gong to look like. Have you discovered BoxShot3D? A serioulsy useful bit of kit to make these. Sure you can use PS to mock them up, and with its 3D features is packs a punch, but sometimes it's a bit too over top…
ReplyDeleteFor the record I've got no afiliation with them, it's just useful tool that makes my life easier.
