I love working on cover art for bands. Part of my process when working with these clients is present cover comps in a way that gives context to the design. Sometimes the design doesn’t make sense as a CD jacket or jewel case mockup – especially since so many artists sell mostly digital.

After being dissatisfied with a few mockups I’ve used in the past, I decided to create my own. This minimal mockup provides some context but still keeps things simple.

How does Cover Art Mockup work

1. Open the Smart Object.


2. Place your cover art.

3. 
Save the smart object and adjust background options.
