Mockup is a crucial part of every product. It is a model of a design or device used after completion of your product to show your audience how it would look like in real life. For instance, you are an artist and painted a picture but you can’t use your Canva board to present it in front of the world.
You need a frame to show how it would look like as a final product. That frame, when digitalized is called a mockup. Hence every creator needs to have a mockup for their respective masterpieces be it for a website, art, posters, printable graphics, illustrations, paintings, etc. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a mockup in Canva in the easiest way possible.
