Introduction and meet Jess Goldsmith

[Jess Goldsmith]: Do you ever wish that you could see what your designs actually look like on you, without spending hours searching for the perfect mockup?

Well, with Adobe Firefly's virtual try-on features and prompts, now you can.

Hey, my name is Jess Goldsmith.

I'm a lettering artist and illustrator in New York City with over a decade of experience in the creative industry.

Over the next few minutes, I'm going to show you how you can take your flat 2D vector illustrations and turn them into photorealistic visuals of embroidered patches that can then be mocked up onto a denim jacket.

Finally, you'll learn how to prompt your very own virtual try-on in a snap.

Let's get started.

Here's a look at my artboard in Illustrator with my custom illustrations.

I'm going to make one quick color edit before we get started.

With Firefly Boards, it's super easy to move in between apps without disrupting your workflow.

With Illustrator, I can simply copy and paste my assets and begin generating immediately.

Turn vector illustrations into embroidered patches

Let's try a simple prompt: "Turn these illustrations into realistic embroidered patches, overhead flatlay."

Make sure your original image is selected as the reference, and then I'll click a few times to get a few options.

I'll wait for them to generate simultaneously and add them all to the Board.

I'm just resizing everything and moving things around to my liking.

Mock your patches onto a denim jacket

Now that I have the patches that I like, I'll bring up the image of my denim jacket and select both the embroidered patches and the jacket images for my references, and use the prompt: "Put patches on the jacket front and back.

The patches are 3 inches in size.

Show full jacket in the rendering."

Preview the jacket on yourself

Now that I have the jacket design with the patches on it, I'll bring up a photo of myself and make sure both the photo of myself and the jacket are selected as my reference images.

Here's the prompt: "The person in the photo is wearing the jacket.

Keep the person's face, body structure, pose, expression, hairstyle, and all defining features without distortion.

The jacket should keep its details and textures.

Show front and back views."

I'll generate a few options and I can actually click here a few times to simultaneously generate them.

I'm putting my options on the artboard and resizing things and moving some things around, but you can see that I have a bunch of really great options of me actually wearing the jacket with both front and back views.

And now I select an image to work with.

With the image option I like best selected as my reference, I'll click on Generate Video and prompt Firefly: "The person is modeling the jacket and showing the patches on the jacket to the camera."

Now that my videos are generated, I'm going to put them on the artboard and you can see how it really brought the entire image to life.

Pro tip: You actually have the option to toggle on or off audio for these videos, depending on the model that you use.

I toggled mine off, but feel free to try it on your own and see how you like it.

With Firefly Boards, the possibilities are endless and your imagination can really soar.

How cool was that?

In just a few minutes, we went from a flat illustration to a fully tried-on outfit using simple prompts all right here in Adobe's Firefly Board.

Now that you know how to create a virtual try-on, give it a go with your own project.

My name is Jess Goldsmith.

Thanks for watching.
