Photoshop Mockup Specialist — Smart Objects + Displacement Maps for POD Products
2 hours ago
Job description
We are a print-on-demand company that produces garments (onesies, toddler tees, youth/adult shirts), ornaments, and tumblers across 10 Etsy shops.
We need a Photoshop mockup specialist to build production-quality PSD mockup templates from our product photographs.What We Will Provide:
- Highresolution photographs of our actual blank products (real product shots, not stock photos)
- Design placement guides showing where the print area falls on each product
- Example designs to test with so you can verify realistic placement
What We Need You to Build (Per Mockup):
Each PSD mockup template must include:
- Smart Object layer - Drop-in design placement that auto-scales to the print area. Should be perspective-corrected and warped to match the garment shape.
- Displacement map - A grayscale map that makes the design follow the fabric wrinkles, folds, and contours realistically.
- Lighting/shadow overlay - A separate layer (multiply or soft light blend mode) that captures the natural lighting, shadows, and highlights from the original photo.
- Wrinkle/texture overlay - A separate layer capturing the fabric texture and micro-wrinkles.
Why Separate Overlay Layers Matter:
We use these mockups in two different systems:
- Photoshop automation
- Full PSD with smart objects + displacement maps for highest quality batch rendering
- Webbased compositor )
- We extract the overlay layers as PNGs and apply them in our browserbased tool for realtime preview
Deliverables Per Mockup:
- Layered PSD file with proper structure
- Displacement map file (.psd or .png, grayscale)
- Lighting overlay exported as PNG (with transparency)
- Wrinkle/texture overlay exported as PNG (with transparency)
- One sample render with a test design placed
Product Types (Starting Batch):
- Baby onesies (flat lay and on-hanger shots)
- Toddler tshirts
- Adult tshirts (various angles)
- Ornaments (flat circular/shaped)
- Tumblers (cylindrical wrap)
Quality Bar:
- The placed design must look photographed, not composited
- Displacement must follow real fabric contours
- Overlays must work when extracted independently
- Consistent naming conventions and layer structure
To Apply, please include:
1. 2-3 examples of product mockups you have built (garments preferred)
- A brief description of your displacement map workflow
- Your rate per mockup template (or hourly rate with estimated time)
- Availability - how many mockups could you deliver per week?
Budget:
$30-75 per mockup template depending on complexity. Open to hourly for the right person.
Contract duration of 3 to 6 months. with 40 hours per week.
Mandatory skills:
