Plastic Case ID Card Mockup
Using a mockup for an ID card in a plastic case is a great way to showcase your design and ensure it's ready for real-world use. Here's how to effectively use the plastic case ID card mockup set in PSD format:
-
Download and Extract: Start by downloading the mockup files and extracting the contents from the ZIP archive if needed. Save them to a location on your computer.
-
Open the PSD File: Launch Adobe Photoshop (or any program that can edit PSD files) and open the mockup PSD file. In this case, you have multiple PSD files to choose from, each with different customization options.
-
Customize the Plastic Case: The mockup provides various customization options for the plastic case. You can adjust the inner border, outer border, lanyard, ring of the lanyard, and the holder area separately. To do this, use the "Fill" option in Photoshop to select and apply different colors or designs to each component.
-
Edit the ID Card Design: Within the PSD file, you'll also find a smart object layer representing the ID card itself. Double-click on this smart object to open it for editing. In the new window that appears, replace the placeholder design with your own ID card design. Ensure it fits within the dimensions of the smart object.
-
Adjust the Background: Depending on the mockup, you may be able to change the background color. If desired, customize the background color to match your design concept.
-
Save and Close: After you've edited the plastic case, ID card design, and background, save the changes in the smart object and close it. The main mockup file will now reflect your customizations.
-
Review and Finalize: Take a moment to review the mockup and ensure everything looks as intended. Pay attention to the plastic case and ID card design to make sure they align with your branding or concept.
-
Save and Export: Once you're satisfied with your customizations, save the entire PSD file. You can then export the mockup as an image file (e.g., JPEG or PNG) for use in your portfolio, client presentations, marketing materials, or any other context where you want to showcase your ID card design.
Using a plastic case ID card mockup helps you visualize and present your ID card design in a realistic context. It's especially useful for demonstrating how your design will look when it's protected by a plastic case. This can be essential for industries and environments where ID cards need to withstand exposure to wet or challenging conditions.
By following these steps, you can effectively use the mockup to showcase your ID card design within a plastic case, ensuring it's ready for various real-world applications.
