Recolor patterns for your product mockups.

Ashley Fouyolle recolors her work in Adobe Illustrator and then brings it into Adobe Photoshop to design bold, cheerful gift wrap.

  1. Prep your mockup.

    In Photoshop, prepare your pattern so it can be applied to a product mockup. To start, create a new file (File > New). Set the Width and Height to 596x479 pixels, the Resolution to 150 pixels/inch, and click Create. Open the Libraries panel and select the UNWRP Patterns library.

    Drag your new pattern from the library to the artboard and press Enter or Return to place it. Use Control+A (Windows) or Command+A (macOS) to select the pattern, choose Edit > Define Pattern, rename it, and click OK.

  2. Add your design.

    From the Libraries panel, double-click the thumbnail for the UNWRP mockup Ashley provided. This includes Smart Object layers for you to add a custom design. In the Layers panel, open the Wrapping Paper Design folder. Then double-click the thumbnail on the Wrap 1 layer to open the Smart Object in a separate tab.

    Choose Edit > Fill, set the Contents to Pattern, choose the UNWRP pattern you defined in the previous step, and click OK to fill the layer with the pattern. Save your changes to have the Smart Object fill the mockup with the pattern. Then close the tab to return to the mockup file.

  3. Show it off.

    Try new patterns in your mockups to showcase your work. Then choose File > Export > Export as and select JPG as the format when you’re ready to share.
