There has been some rumbling about a mockup forum to be run by pscates. Now, as fun as mockups are, they certainly can't justify their own forum. So, a number of people have said that a sticky on the subject would be good. Here it is.

So, if you have a mockup to post, a request for something, or any other comments related to the mockups, just post it here.

I just gathered all mine into one spot. Not all mockups (and some mockups aren't even serious), but a nice smattering of this and that.

All 100% Illustrator...

And the goofy thing in my sig was done last night, playing around with Illustrator CS's new 3D features. Surprisingly nice results, from something that's not a full-tilt, dedicated 3D app.

And no, I'm not changing anything in the gallery above (or sig below), or "taking suggestions". They are what they are, frozen in time (most embarrassingly so...but that's where the fun comes from!).

Really like the iPod there pscates, even though I don't like curvy things as a rule. Like the Displays too, though I hope Apple actually produces highly adjustable models. Interesting idea about the 30" being wall hanging.

Any way I can get a higher-res one to use as a background image?

Ooh, now a set-up like that would make me consider a desktop again. I HATE big ol' towers (which I'll never take advantage of the slots, drive bays, etc.). But something cute and tight like above? I'll take two, plese.

Since you bring it up...who were the girls in your iPod mockup? Was that Jamie Lee on the right?

VERY nice work BTW.


[edit:] DAMN, Kickaha! Serves me right not to read posts to the bottom.

That was amazing! :wow: There is no way I would have the skills, patience or ability to accept imperfections in the construction stage to even contemplate creating something like that! Hats off to that guy! Nice job!

I really like the iPod shape pscates! Seems very ergonomic and "grippable". Also, the added functionality (along with the icons you designed) was very appealing to me... [deadhorse] I want the iPod to evolve dammit! [/deadhorse]

Nice compilation of your mockups, though!

I tweaked my display idea a little:

1. Rounded the top corners slightly, so it's not a sharp, 90-degree edge, and...

2. Made the legs perfectly vertical, with not slant/tilt on the inner portions as the current displays have and my initial mockup. I think, without the slant inward, they pair nicer with the G5 legs/handles (perfectly vertical).

The top is my line drawing, where I worked all the crap out initially. I saved it for fun, then did the gradients, details, reflections, blurring of reflections, etc. on the copy below. Kinda fun to put them together! The only thing not created, from scratch, in Illustrator is the screen shot, which I swiped from Apple's site.

I really enjoy trying to do realistic stuff, all within illustrator. Those transparency tools, along with the gradient mesh features, make it much easier than it used to be in earlier versions!

Anyway, enjoy...and for the record, I wouldn't mind one of these sitting next to my PowerBook one single bit!

It looks pretty good, very realistic and I like the thin bezel, but...

From a functionality standpoint, it's arguably worse than the current line of displays. Yeah, you have a thin bezel unlike the current ones, but the feet appear to be totally flat on the bottom rather than rounded. That means that the only way you can have the feet totally in contact with the desk is if the display is in a (useless) totally vertical position.

So, while I commend you on an excellent piece of mockup art, I have to say that it's a step in the wrong direction as far as functionality is concerned. I think a single foot with a pivot point in the center of the display would be a much better idea.

what if the display itself were hinged on the outside support, so you could rotate back/forth, and also have a slide track in there to be able to move it up/down a few inches.

that would give you full moveability.

Luca, how do you know that the back of the surrounding frame piece isn't softly rounded, allowing for exactly what you talk about?

Was never intended to sit flat/flush (and perfectly vertical) on the desk...that's damn near impossible with this type of design (which is only a variation of Apple's existing one). It'll tilt back just as the current one does, on a softly-rolled roundover to the read of the "frame". The front is flat/sharp for appearances sake (looking nice beside a G5).

Alcimedes...I know.

It's there (that's why that sliver "frame" runs around the entire thing). I've not drawn anything other than a front-on view, but I was thinking about a center-pivot "rocker" where the display does tilt back and forth a bit within the frame. I was going to doodle that up tonight because I'm REALLY big - after owning a G4 iMac - on the notion that displays have some mobility in them!

Look on my mockup web-page to that display a drew a few years ago with the orange background. See how that is set up? I've been carrying that brick of an idea around with me for at least two years!



And it's implemented above, just haven't shown it because of the view I was drawing (the side cam isn't visible).

Oh god of mock ups and all things Illustrator!

Could you throw together a mock up based on the old Apple Studio Display?

This was always one of my favorite monitors.

You just kinda did, didn't you?

You mean that basic design, sheathed in G5 aluminum?

Hey, I forgot all about those displays!



Damn, maybe Apple should think about reviving that! With updated appearance/materials, of course. But, as I recall, that base was VERY heavy and wasn't going anywhere. Granted, it only held a 15" display, so not sure how heavy it would have to get to hold a 20", 23", etc.

I remember those, years ago. Saw them at Fry's all the time, in blue!

Didn't they also come off of that post, and sit directly on the desk, using a back-mounted "picture frame" leg?

Hom's post (and pic) above got me thinking: if you took the basic design/principle in that photo and think abou t that cool glass "mobius strip" base on the 17" ADC 17" display for 3-4 years ago AND G5 aluminum.

I don't mean something as twisty and organic as the 17" glass base (wouldn't look right with the straight, crisp G5, BUT in how the curves twist into themselves and back into another plane. It's on the G5 a bit, with the cut-outs and inserts. That neat-looking, big "uncut sheet" look the G5 has.

Apply THAT to a nice wide base/tower that patterns itself after HOM's pic above. You could certainly have silt, swivel and raise/lower action on that.

Yeah, but I drew it a bazillion years ago (okay, late 1999) and haven't really thought of it much since, until seeing HOM's pic. When I put my .Mac mockup page together the other night - I saw it again for the first time in years, but I was more struck by my use of "pineapple" as a possible new color.
