Here’s a three plates mockup that works well for a decorative print, a restaurant logo and similar projects.
Useful for restaurants as much as for homeware brands. Change the background colour to your brand palette; it does more for the final image than people expect.
Small branded items are often the part of an identity that clients remember, so it’s worth showing them properly. Group it with other merch mockups for a branded items slide.
Use it for
- A decorative print
- A restaurant logo
- A ceramic pattern

Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Logo or artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows
- Object colour, where included
How to use the Three Plates mockup
- Prepare the artwork in your brand colours.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Change the background colour at the bottom of the layer stack.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: keep your artwork simple. Small objects shrink details quickly, so a bold mark reads better than fine lines.
Where the Three Plates mockup works best
- Present a ceramic pattern in a client proposal or brand guide.
- Show a restaurant logo to a client before it goes to print or production.
