In this video, I'll show you how to create a realistic mockup using Nano Banana, a neural network from Google.
We'll walk you through step-by-step how to prepare your design, how to write a proper product specification, and how to create a beautiful presentation of your work without complex photography or expensive mockups.
I'll use packaging design as an example: how to integrate an illustration into a real object, maintain the style, add environment, lighting, and shadows, and make the result look like a finished commercial presentation.
This is useful for graphic designers, illustrators, and anyone who wants to showcase their work beautifully in a portfolio, on Behance, on social media, or to clients.
In this video, we'll cover:
- What is a mockup and why does a designer need one?
- How to prepare a design file
- What prompt to write for Nano Banana
- How to use mockups for portfolios and presentations of work
