HOWEVER! I thought I could show some Expectation vs. Reality type posts and show you how some mock ups have resulted in actual products... I will say, the actual records have so far ALWAYS come out looking cooler than any mock up I could manage... Dang dude, this is awesome. Thanks for sharing! I always wondered whether vinyl mockups were something a plant sends as like a, "Hey is this what you want," or what a label sends as an example of what they want. It helps explain why received vinyl is sometimes wildly different than a mockup. Whichever plant you're using is definitely on their game. faaip de oiad and EHughes527 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluethumb Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Not so much a fake mockup, but my OG Groundislava LP came without a paper jacket so I made some new sleeves out of blank jackets and some dextrous X-acto knife work. I have a Maps & Atlases, and a few other LPs that also came in plastic originally - which I hate that so much - so I'll probably do the same for those (apologies for the low quality image, my apt has shit lighting).

I've figured out the colors, but not adding swirls/splatters/etc Aside from three of these, all of these records actually exist. I just take pictures of the records from my collection and change the labels. For the other three, I searched up a pattern that I like, cut it into a circle, changed the lighting and threw some filters on. I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to creating patterns, so I sort up just cut and paste. I usually make my pictures on my phone, but the last one I posted (Conditions) I made on InDesign.
