Add mockup placeholders, text labels, images, and shapes
Apply artwork and logos directly onto mockups within the lookbook
Save layouts as reusable templates

Getting Started
Accessing LookBooks
Log in to app.dynamicmockups.com
In the left sidebar, click LookBooks
Click Create LookBook
Choose Start from Scratch or select an existing Template
Starting from scratch opens a blank page - your canvas for building the lookbook.
Setting Up Your Document
Before adding content, configure your document settings.
Rename Your LookBook
Click the title field at the top to rename your lookbook (e.g., "Acme Corp Holiday Collection").
Document Size
Choose from the following preset sizes, or set a custom size:
Size | Dimensions |
A3 | 297 × 420 mm |
A4 | 210 × 297 mm |
A5 | 148 × 210 mm |
Letter | 8.5 × 11 in |
Custom | Set your own dimensions |
Orientation
Select Portrait or Landscape depending on how the lookbook will be viewed.
Background
Customize the page background:
Color - pick any solid background color
Image - upload your own branded background image
Adding Content to Your LookBook
The editor provides four types of content elements you can add to any page.
Mockup Placeholders
This is the core element of your lookbook. Mockup placeholders let you pull product mockups directly into your catalog.
To add a mockup:
Click Add Mockup Placeholder
Select a mockup from:
My Catalogs - mockups you've already created in Dynamic Mockups
Saved Templates - templates you've previously saved
Position and resize the mockup on the page
Mockup settings:
Once placed, you can adjust:
Label name - add a product name or identifier
Position - set exact X/Y coordinates
Fit mode - control how the mockup fits within its container
Applying Artwork to Mockups
After placing a mockup, you can apply artwork directly onto it within the lookbook editor.
Select the mockup placeholder
Click to add or change Artwork
Upload your prospect's logo, design, or select from existing artwork
Adjust the color of the artwork if needed
This replaces the old workflow of generating mockups in one tool and pasting them into another.
Text Labels
Add text to your pages for product names, descriptions, pricing, branding messages, or any other copy.
Click Add Text
A text container appears on the page
Type your content and customize formatting
Rectangles
Draw rectangles to create visual structure - backgrounds, dividers, color blocks, or decorative elements.
Click Rectangle
Draw a rectangle on the page
Customize in the settings panel:
Color and opacity
Stroke (border)
Position and rotation
Images
Upload additional images to the page - brand logos, lifestyle photos, decorative graphics, or any other visual asset.
Click Add Image
Upload your image file
Position and resize on the page
Working with Multiple Pages
A lookbook isn't limited to a single page. You can add as many pages as you need.
Typical lookbook structure:
Page 1 - Cover page with branding
Pages 2-5 - Product mockups organized by category
Page 6 - Pricing summary or contact information
Each page can have its own layout, background, and combination of elements.
Saving and Exporting
Once your lookbook is complete, you have two options:
Export as PDF
Click Export PDF to generate a finished PDF file. This PDF is ready to:
Attach to emails and cold outreach
Share in client portals or CRMs
Use in sales presentations
Save as Template
Click Save as Template to save your current layout for reuse. This is the most powerful workflow for agencies handling volume.
How templates save time:
Build your lookbook layout once - branded backgrounds, mockup placeholders, text elements, consistent typography
When a new client opportunity comes in, open the template
Swap in the new client's mockups and artwork
Export a personalized PDF in minutes instead of hours
Tips & Best Practices
✅ Build templates first — Create a master layout with your brand colors, logo placement, and mockup positions. Reuse it for every new client.
✅ Keep it focused — Curate 8-12 relevant products per lookbook rather than dumping your full catalog. Tighter selections convert better.
✅ Lead with the client's brand — Place their logo and colors on the first page. The lookbook should feel like it was made for them.
✅ Use high-quality mockups — Studio-quality visuals signal professionalism. Low-quality mockups undermine the entire catalog.
✅ Include a call to action — End every lookbook with clear next steps: book a call, reply to this email, visit a link.
✅ Keep file sizes manageable — Optimize images before uploading so the exported PDF is easy to share via email.
