What can you use this product for?

Promote or launch your square magazine, book, or document by displaying the covers, spine and pages using this realistic mockup template for Canva.

Show your clients how their cover or page designs will look before print.

How to use this square magazine mockup for Canva

Once you download the User PDF, navigate to the last page where you’ll find the license details and also the link to access your Square Magazine mockup. The link will take you to a Canva template containing all 8 mockups.

To use them, all you need to do is drag and drop your JPG or PNG (not transparent is best) design or pattern straight into the custom-created clip frames. Your design will look like it’s been printed on the book cover or pages. Just like it would in a Photoshop mockup. The shadows and lines of each object will remain visible. You can edit them to be darker or lighter, depending on how dark or light your design is. See the PDF user guide with more detailed info. The Canva file also contains detailed user instructions for each mockup in the page notes.

Make sure that your book pages have ample margin (approx 20mm on each edge) for a neat and professional end result.

Once you’ve opened the template you can customize all surface colors with one click. Drag and drop or clip your design onto the mockup surface of your choice, add your own background color or texture, add objects from any of my Scene Creator bundles to further customize and add interest to your designs. Shadows can be edited by clicking on the shadow section of the object and adjusting the tint, blur or opacity. More detailed instructions are included in the download PDF.
