None of templates meet real world applications. Who needs a bus billboard or a 1990's version of a CD label jacket anyway. The entire collection is outdated and look too generic.
- your art is too.digdre
- Digre just looking for free shit, troll.Vicentvangogh
- Vicent you tried them? I think you can do very very realisitiv stuff with the print templatesmoamoa
- They just look like stock photography and are very generic.Vicentvangogh
- That's the point in a way. They are very useful for prototyping.Jnr_Madison
- you should try it, I did. easy to use, and easy to get a realistic look.moamoa

So in certain cases are any of you print designers finding that livesurface is taking the place of physical, hand-made comps?
The other day a co-worker and I comped up a somewhat elaborate print piece. It's three brochures in one. The cover is a gatefold in the front with a pocket in the back. It has a spine for capacity. The main brochure is saddle stitched into the spine, with two other brochures that fit into the back pocket. I can't imagine something so complex ever becoming a template on livesurface.
Just curious exactly how you guys use it. I like the idea that it wastes no paper, and takes a lot less time than physical comping.
- I'm not really a print guy, these are very useful but I don't think you can beat your own handmade stuff.Jnr_Madison

it'll never replace the need to make your own dummies/comps when creating an elaborate piece... that said, it depends on how good your photoshop skills are... there's a lot of ways you can manipulate the existing templates if you use your melon... but yeah, for my I would never present a client work using LS, it's just a great way to temporarily show some pieces in my portfolio until I get things properly photographed...
