The Best Mockups for Branding in 2020

As we step into a new year, it’s the perfect time to assess our business wishlist for the things we really need to grow – is it time to invest in that new desk you’ve been eyeing, or finally bring on that virtual assistant?

For me, my 2020 business wishlist entailed a lot of upgrades for tools and resources I already use on a daily basis. As a designer, branding and design mockups are invaluable when presenting creative concepts to clients, and I knew that a new year called for a new, unique batch of mockups to work off of this year.

Tired of seeing the same mockups being used by creative peers? I’ve combed through the best of the best free and paid mockup collections for graphic designers – and they’re all waiting for you below!

Paid Graphic Design Mockups

Moyo Studio

Moyo Studio’s minimal and modern design mockups and stock photography may look a little familiar to you…and that’s because they can be found throughout this website! I’m a huge fan of Moyo’s simple and subtle approach to creating the best mockups for minimal branding that put great design at the forefront. Although the majority of Moyo’s mockup collections are paid (and 100% worth the investment, trust me!), sign up for their emails to instantly receive 30 free, high-quality stock photos to support your creative projects.

October November on Creative Market is another great one-stop resource for sleek and modern design mockups that won’t break the bank. With most mock-up and scene creator assets falling between $15-$30, you’ll be glad that you said no to a few weekly lattes and yes to these curated goods that will help take your design work farther. A personal favorite? The Fore Mockup Scene Creator full of texture, depth and natural light.
