The importance of mockup’s is priceless in communication visually and gaining that all important buy in from clients or in this case from your co group members or other parents with kids in the sports team. Describing your vision for the design of your business graphic solution or team hoodie is almost impossible in written form. Having a super proffessional mockup that visually captures your vision is super neat because people instantly see the image, the mockup and they can have an immediate understanding of your ideas.
We have been using mockups for years and they take the form of the images in this article. So many times clients have completely agreed the concept based on the mock up. Discussion and then tweaks can allow viewers of the mockup to get involved and offer input on how to change/improve the design. The key to this is gaining an understanding of the clients needs before making the mockup, asking questions, getting to know the design brief, talking about it and taking some time focusing then walking away from the project then reconnecting, and gathering data…! Have you heard the client, have you interpreted their vision, do they know what they want, can you add additional ideas to the creative melting pot. Gathering information and not just going with a gut feeling is essential to getting that first mockup as close to the mark as possible!
Its so great to see the smile on our clients or other parents faces when we have put together a great mockup. For us there are times when we have designed an article or advertisement or documentary video and the readers or client have become themselves even more creative once they see the mockup and this allows the process to final cut such an enjoyable experience and at the end people can really say, ” we did a good job… the client, or the readers are happy, we got it right”.
