Making mock-ups! It's surprisingly easy and it's so rewarding to see products that look so real with my illustrations on. Now I know how to do this I'll probably use it for other modules like COP and PPP. Happy with the book, looks so clean and professional! Although I made my own physical dust jacket for the book, the photos wouldn't look as crisp and perfect as these do.
I forgot to add the cloth bind that I liked so much in so many other children's books (see older posts somewhere way back) but I think this book is too thick to have a cloth bind like that anyway. It doesn't need anything else going on with it.
Trying to make stationery and writing paper - I love it! I really want to get some of this printed to write onto. I should make matching envelopes too. I haven't seen anything like this in the PEI shops before but it would still fit in.
Because I've just taken smaller motifs and foliage from the scrapbook pages, I don't think that this says 'Emily of New Moon' or 'Lucy Maud Montgomery' as obviously as the other products do.
Difficult to find mockups of letter paper/stationery! Everything I have found has been really corporate and that's not what I wanted. Eventually found something very plain but ideally wanted something as a writing set with notecards, stickers and a wallet.
Postcards! Again, struggled to find mock-ups of post cards. The photos of the 3D Emily fit perfectly onto this format because they're landscape already. I could add text that says 'GREETINGS FROM PEI' to be sold on the island as souvenirs.
The Emily doll mocked up... not perfect. It's wonky and the perspective is wrong but I had a go and it's exciting to see my little doll in her own special box. I wonder if I can mock this up onto a shelf? Make several of them sitting on a shelf? Does this ruin the one of a kind, unique nature of my product?
