What is a brochure mockup?

Think of a brochure mockup as a “proof of concept”. It’s a digital blueprint of your brochure before it goes to print that allows designers and clients to picture that brochure’s appearance (and make easy suggestions or changes). In any type of design work, mockups are an essential part of the design phase.

While a brochure mockup could be an example, giving context to the design can help clients to visualise your intent. You can go further than just using it as a digital blueprint too. For example, you could put your brochure mockup in a simulated environment, such as on a table or in someone’s hand digitally to give it some real-world context.

Your brochure mockup should represent the final design in terms of size, layout and how it might appear in different materials, such as glossy paper. Try to include a range of angles, lighting and backgrounds too.

Why use a brochure mockup?

While brochure mockups are just fun to design, they play an important role in design work. Some of the reasons you might want to use a brochure mockup include:

• Cross-team collaboration. If you’re working with other teams, you might need feedback. For example, the product team may want to focus on updating the branding to reflect a new product or shift in a company’s direction. Or they want a spread for a new, poster child product.
• Get feedback on different mockups. If you’re in a design ideation phase, you may want to present your client or team with a range of choices. By presenting a range of brochure mockups, you can accrue a variety of feedback to make the perfect design.
• Track your changes along the way. With a selection of brochure mockups, you can track any version changes along the way complete with the feedback. This could help if you’re challenged by your client and demonstrate the evolution of the project. It also means if something needs to be rolled back, you have the old version on hand.
• Create realistic previews. Once a brochure is in production, it can start accruing costs rapidly – that means someone changing their mind carries a cost. Brochure mockups offer contextual and tangible previews to ensure the brochure hits the intended tone and message by the time it’s ready for print.
• Personal portfolio development. As a designer, having a selection of brochure mockups can be a great way to bolster your portfolio. They also demonstrate your ability to action feedback and interpret a brief.
