Mockup Lab

Proud to see that @mikesmith187 studio used my mockups for such beautiful branding work ❤️

@adgmodular Of course, who wouldn’t want to pay $16 for unlimited stuff. But not me, nor any font foundry have reach of a Netflix. We are a niche business with licensing system as any stock library.

If I wear the t-shirt to a meeting with a lead does that mean it’s generating revenue? Is that business use? Would you tolerate a clothing brand even keeping tabs on this? Why is usage after the sale any of your business? Whether a freelancer or an agency or a corporation with a million hits a day buys your product, once the sale is done, it’s done. I’m not trying to be combative here. I’m trying to highlight the absurdity of this idea. It’s a bad idea, it never should have been accepted as the default way to charge for this stuff. You’re not the first nor will you be the last to try and charge this way, but it is not the way to do it. Every font foundry goes out of business and gets bought by Monotype trying to do it this way. Consumers struggle to understand it, hate it once they do understand it, and like you said, try to cheat the system to get around it. Instead of trying to find a foolproof way to force them into this, why not ask your customers how they’d like to pay you? Me personally, I’d love to pay a subscription fee to a mockup store and have unlimited unconditional use of your collection for the duration of the subscription, like a Netflix model. Predictable, recurring revenue for you, simplicity and peace of mind for me.

Been selling digital products for years. Licensing still feels broken. Big companies buying cheap licenses they shouldn’t. What would you do?

@adgmodular I get your point, but it’s not the same. A t-shirt is personal use. Assets are used to create work that generates revenue. Usage isn’t equal. A freelancer’s portfolio use and a team using it across client work are very different. Licensing exists to reflect that difference.

Can I ask why you’re licensing by use to begin with? As a purchaser of these kinds of things for myself and on behalf of my clients. Licensing agreements add a lot of unnecessary friction to the checkout experience. Make an asset, charge what you think it’s worth, don’t worry about how much I’m using it. A clothing manufacturer doesn’t care how many times I wear the t-shirt I buy from them. They don’t care how many people will be at the party I wear it to. They don’t care if I let my wife wear it around the house sometimes. Buying a t-shirt is easy. Navigating these licensing agreements is hard. Make it easy for your customer give you money. The font foundries need to reflect on this too.

@percen_one Probably will give it a shot, thanks

@mockup_lab I personally haven’t, though I’ve seen some videos they post here on X

It’s been impossible to follow all the tool updates so which one do I need to use so it does the magic and turns my Figma file into a working site?

@percen_one Have you tried Paper? I read about it.

@mockup_lab Perhaps try using Paper to convert it to code and then try giving it to Cursor

@percen_one Framer is good, but don't want to pay each month for a single website. Would like to code myself and push to Vercel.

@mockup_lab I recommend framer

@togetherwithy0u 🔥🤙🚒

TOGETHER WITH GIZA / Coming soon

Designers know exactly what this means.

To companies launching something every other day: more features aren’t interesting anymore. Quality is.

@sharifelkomi Thanks! Damn, it looks difficult to setup, but lets see how it goes.

@mockup_lab Since Figma updated their MCP yesterday I'd think all you need now is Claude Code or Codex with the MCP and plugin installed. figma.com/blog/the-figma…

@percen_one That is too niche a platform, not many people use it 🤷‍♂️ Affinity, when I tested it last, has similar features to Photoshop, but still not all, so only a part of the mockups would work.

@mockup_lab What about Affinity Designer

This week’s 5 new mockups are live 👀

@percen_one Unfortunately, that’s not possible. Figma does not have the features that Photoshop has, so the mockups would not have the needed quality.

@mockup_lab Any chance you could bring your mock-ups to Figma

Preparing for the new batch of mockups and keep admiring the quality gemini pro can do

My daughter turned 11 yesterday. This is her pin. She means it.

@Abulographix Cheers!

@mockup_lab Beautiful mockups

Hottest new mockups from the past few weeks

@knownunknownco Thanks 😊

@mockup_lab So good!

@adeolacrun88492 No, these are paid mockups

@mockup_lab Are they free please?
