What is a t-shirt mock-up?
一件t恤模型是设计一张白纸t-shirt with your own graphics, pictures, images, words, or branding. T-shirt mock-ups allow you to create a design and put it on a virtual t-shirt so you and your customers can get an idea of what it will look like in real life. T-shirt mock-ups might be flat-lay or on aghost mannequin or real model.
When you design your own mock-ups, you might download a t-shirt outline and build your design within those confines. However, that requires knowing how to use aphoto editor, as well as basic knowledge of apparel design. Luckily, those who don’t have such skills can use t-shirt design templates and mock-ups, available online. They make the design process much easier.
