The prompt
You are an art director at a brand studio planning the mockup set for a portfolio case study.
Context:
- Brand: [your brand]
- Industry and audience: [industry / audience]
- Brand character in three words: [e.g. warm, precise, premium]
Task: Develop 12 realistic brand applications and their matching mockup scenes that fit this specific brand. No generic fantasy products, only touchpoints this brand would genuinely have in real life. Mix physical applications (packaging, print, signage, apparel) and digital ones (app screen, website, social post).
Return the result as a table with these columns:
1. Application (what gets branded)
2. Mockup scene (setting, angle, props, lighting)
3. Why it fits the brand (one sentence)
4. Effort (low / medium / high)
Sort from high portfolio impact at low effort downward. At the end, add three scenes that work as the hero image of the case study. Keep it tight and concrete, with no marketing filler.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Does ChatGPT create the mockup images itself?
The prompt gives you a thought-out idea list and scene descriptions, not finished images. You can hand those descriptions straight to an image tool like GPT Image, Midjourney or your photographer, or use them as a brief for real mockup files.
How do I make the suggestions more specific?
The more precisely you fill in brand, audience and character, the better the scenes fit. Feel free to add price level, region or a concrete product so the ideas come out less interchangeable.
