Let’s start…
What is a mockup?
In short, a mockup is a static and realistic model or visual of a design or a product. A mockup helps to understand or visualize the final product or design will actually look exactly like the mockup when it’s put out into the real world. We use the mockups for product presentations, promotions, demonstration and other purposes.
The mockup is a perfect and professional way for product presentation. Mostly graphic, web and UI/UX designers are using mockups to presentation their product design to the client.
