To make clothes look professional you need to focus on two things, design and presentation. To design, one can use tools like Photoshop and Canva (if you are a non-technical person and do not know how to use Photoshop). Once the design is complete you need to present that design on a T-shirt, Sweatshirt, or Hoodie. To do the same, you need to create a mockup of that product. Mockups can be created using two user-friendly websites or you can say tools, Canva and Mockey.
Canva Mockups: It offers a wide range of mockups from technology to home and living. All you need to have a an account with Canva. Once you log in, you will see a dashboard and then Apps. Under applications, you will see Mockups, from where you can choose the product for which you want to create a mockup. You can select both free mockups and paid mockups. Paid are accessible only when you have subscribed to any paid plan of Canva. Select the mockup you like, add your design, choose the color, adjust the design, and then click on save mockup.
Lets understand this by taking an example where you need a mockup of a round neck tshirt.
To create this mockup first you need to create a design you want to have on the tshirt. To create a design you go to Canva and click on “‘Create a design”‘ button. Choose the size of the design as 5000 *5000 pixel for the best resolution of the final design.
Now start creating the design you have in your mind using the tools given in Canva. Once you complete the design download it to your system in a .png format and transparent background so that you can easily adkust its size while applying on a blank tshirt. The transparent background feature is available only in the paid version of Canva. In case you do not have the paid version you can download the file as it is and a .png format and then remove the background using a free tool available online like remove.bg.
Now go to home and applications. Choose mockups from application and then choose tshirt from the mockups option.
Once you choose the blank round neck tshirt drag and drop the design image in .png format to the centre of the black image.
Canva will automatically apply the design to the blank tshirt image. You can easily adjust the position of the design so that it looks better as a final result. You can also change the color of the tshirt as you want.
When you have adjusted the design according to your need, you can download the final mockup image by downloading the same in the resolution you need. You can then post the image on various social media platforms or you can use it in another design.
