Pulling Photo's for Media Section

ZAZKAT — Sat, 26 Feb 2022 01:55:49 GMT

What is an easy way to find photo's that fit the Zazzle size requirements for the Media section? I've tried drag and drop from several areas of Zazzle and the images are too small. Do most of you buy product and photo yourself and pull the jpg over?

I only have one product photo and it is indeed a phone case that I bought for myself and photographed (but not for purposes of the media section, I had it anyway). The others are just the designs themselves. There are mockup services that will put an uploaded photo on a product but they cost and it hardly seems worth it.

I have mock ups that I made myself to match my branding. I used screenshots of my products and some free (from pixabay I think) lifestyle type images and some are just arranged over a colored background inspired by Zazzle’s merchandising. I even used a couple of product in situs from Zazzle and added more elements.

I use a very old version of photoshop, but there are other free photo editing programs. It’s time consuming and I’m by no means great at it but I think they look pretty. The postcards, note cards, and candy tins were purchases by me and my mom and sister so I was able to stage them in real life

Before I did that, I used my media section for work in progress pics of my artwork as a sort of behind the scenes peek at my work. You can use it in any way that ties into your work and even add videos.
