8.5x11 Booklet or Magazine Mock-up

Using smart objects, I've created a high-resolution open booklet or magazine template (sized 8.5" x 11") that can display an interior spread and front cover. You can even remove the staples if you like (if, for instance, your publication was saddle-stitched or perfect-bound). All you have to do is paste your 300dpi 8.5" x 11" page into one of 6 specific smart objects, and you're good to go for your portfolio or client presentation.

While I've locked the layers you shouldn't need to adjust, you're absolutely welcome to unlock and play to your heart's content. Adjust gradients, remove pages if it's a small publication, adjust shadows to accommodate specific lighting you have in mind - you name it, you can adjust it.

For the spread, there is a smart object each for the visible left and right pages, along with a smart object each for the pages beneath. So rather than having to copy and paste into several pages, you just copy and paste into the first smart object in the "other pages" folder. That way you'll see all the masthead colors and textures throughout the pages beneath, adding depth and reality to your mockup.
