This course is loaded with tons of valuable, high-quality design assets for you to follow along with all of the lectures. You can download all of the exercise files and bonus assets directly from the first lecture of each section. If you are having troubles with the downloads working because of how large the files are, I also have all of the files available through Dropbox.
Producing packaging can be very expensive. One of my most recent package designs cost roughly $30,000 to print because of the minimum orders we had to make in order to make the per-unit packaging cost reasonable. It was still roughly $6 per box to produce, even with the bulk discount.
I use these techniques to show clients what my visions are for projects before they are printed.
Learning how to create realistic packaging mockups is a great skill to have because it can help make sure that everyone is on the same page with what the final result will be.
It's also a great way to make your portfolio look polished and professional, even if you don't have a real product to show or can't afford to have it printed yet.
Be sure to download the exercise files to follow along!
The premium assets I've provided are for your practice only. If you want to use any of these premium assets I've provided on your social media, portfolio, or commercially, then you'll need to license these so you don't get in trouble.

This course is no different I have learned a lot of new skills from this course especially new photo compositing techniques, how to create mockups for my projects ( I Really liked the apparel mock-up section as I need this a lot). The course was fun to take and Derrick has a great teaching style which I think anyone can learn a lot from.
