Tutorial: Quickly Create Mockups Using AI

Why spend $$$ on a product launch BEFORE you’ve tested if people actually want the product?

Here’s a quick way to mock up your designs to put on your website, sales page or social media without the physical product.

You can apply it on t-shirts, hats, candles, books etc. PLUS no need to hire a graphic designer for your mockups.

Today, we tested a free AI tool called Kittl (see our sample below).

  1. Create an account on Kittl

  2. Locate & click on Kittl AI

  3. Change the tool to AI Logo Generator

  1. Copy, edit, and paste the prompt, then click Generate Logo
    You can always write your own prompt

Create a [Design_Style] for [Company_Name], specializing in [Specialization]. The logo should convey [Brand_Values]. Use a [Font_Style] for the name and incorporate [Visual_Elements]. The colors [Color_Scheme] should symbolize [Symbolism].

Prompt Sample
  1. Now click on Mockup, then choose your mockups

  2. Drag to position your preferred design then viola!
