That's the same Creator whose covers confused @klstock for being out of scale, but that designer is not alone, I've encountered numerous covers that are getting it wrong. For some reason, this wallpaper seems to be confusing even seasoned Designers.
As was stated here in the announcement, the design area represents 2 feet x 2 feet. This is repeated vertically in 2-foot increments as they choose longer roll lengths (4, 6, 8, 10 or 12). The width is not repeated, it's always a 2-foot wide roll. As it's not like say a fabric with different areas being sewn together, there aren't actually any "seams" in the design, it's a continuous repeating print for the length of the roll. The only "seams" would be where the user is buying multiple rolls (which you'd need to do a whole wall) and then it's on them to match up the design where one roll meets the next.
The 2nd preview image shows you the 2' x 2' design. The 5th one shows you multiple rolls applied next to each other which lets you see how it would "tile" horizontally when using more than one roll.
I think these two previews are the most trustworthy way to visualize the design as it shows how it will "tile" without giving any misleading impressions of scale.
Even the Zazzle-provided in situs seem to be really wrong on scale so I don't trust them.
Based on Zazzle saying the design area is a 2' x 2' square, in my checkerboard pattern each blue or white square here would be 1'. Which means in the nursery in situ, the crib would only be 3' long (36") but the standard crib length is, by law, 52" so something if off.
By counting squares, the bathroom ceiling height would be 9' at minimum as the view is cut off before we see the ceiling. 9' is reasonable, it's now the average residential ceiling height instead of 8'. But the tub is barely over 1' high, which even accounting for perspective distorting the perception, still seems wrong
The living room would have a 12' ceiling which might be reasonable as 10-12' ceilings are preferred in modern "high-end" homes/apartments. The bedroom though reflects a 13.5' ceiling minimum, dwarfing the bed which would be less than 3 feet high here to the top of the headboard. This is the in situ that looks the most bizarrely out-of-scale without even thinking about it.
It seems like I am over-analyzing the in situs, but I was trying to decide which would be the most accurate to use until I can figure out how best to make my own so couldn't help but notice these things as well as the ones in the MP that are off.
For a product like this that entails both "tiling" and expert-level difficulty in creating a scene to accurate scale, this is where Zazzle needs to provide accurate in situs to use without penalty and I'd go as far as saying implement a review process for homemade ones. And not just to baby Creators, but to ensure shoppers aren't being misled.
So true. I can see a fabulous product getting lots of poor reviews just because the mock-ups imply murals, not wallpaper with seamless patterns, sigh.
The listing it self goes really super quick for me because I don't have to think about the template features etc. but than I'll spend for ever on a mock-up to get it right, lol. But fortunately I got a system figured out now. Still time consuming of course but more doable (for me).
Today's mock-up...
Oh boy, I just realized I was off by a foot. Yicks. I'll correct that tomorrow.
I downloaded the bedroom in situ view and cropped the height of the wall with Photo Editor. I also downloaded the hallway and bathroom in situ views in my design and views with just dark green and white background. Then, I cropped the the wall paper in my design and slid them in with PicsArt . I tried the front wall in the bathroom in the dark green and the white, but decided I liked it with my design on it. I'm doing this just to offer visual decorating suggestions to customers.
Yes. I was actually thinking about it to create some designs for kids to color them. Kinda like a picture book? Kids love beautifying walls, smile.
It's been over a month since I made new wallpaper, but I thought I should make some more because I made a sale. However, it appears that the mockups have gotten worse since I last made wallpaper. I know it's not my pattern. I've tested it outside Zazzle. In the Zazzle editor, I add my square pattern file, select Basic under Tile, and set the size. It looks great. But then the generator does not tile the canvas so it looks like a bunch of squares in the mockup. This should really be a high-priority fix. It's been months since wallpaper was released and the mockups are still not working right.
