Overview
Fockups offers a refreshingly honest take on the world of mockups, challenging the conventional portrayal of designs in perfect conditions. This unique platform embraces the chaos and imperfections of the real world, providing mockups that display designs under less-than-ideal circumstances. Fockups acknowledges that the world isn’t as flawless as many mockups suggest, offering a collection of scenarios that give context to designs in a way that’s grounded in reality, not just aspiration.
The concept behind Fockups is simple yet revolutionary: a mockup should incorporate a design not yet produced into a situation that offers viewers a more authentic understanding of the final product. Traditional mockups often depict designs floating smoothly in space, bathed in perfect lighting, or accompanied by idealistic backdrops like clear blue skies or the perfect cup of coffee. However, Fockups recognizes that designs must navigate the hurdles of wind, rain, time, graffiti, human error, and failing information carriers in the real world.
By collecting these real-life, unfortunate situations, Fockups presents a series of “f*cked up mockups” that show your design in a realistic manner. This approach not only provides a more accurate representation of how designs interact with their environment but also injects a dose of reality into the design process, preparing creators for the challenges their work will face in the real world. For designers looking to see their creations in a new light, Fockups offers an invaluable perspective.
