Open spreads
Include the inside pages
Supply the specific spread you want to show. An open-page view gives a client more information about the layout than a cover image alone.
Booklet mockup
A cover alone cannot show how a booklet opens. Add your finished cover and spread artwork, with format and binding references. Virse creates a booklet mockup for reviewing the pages and paper appearance together.
What is a booklet mockup?
A booklet mockup shows an existing cover and page spread as a physical publication. Virse uses your artwork, format and binding references to create a static view for reviewing the layout and paper appearance.
Why use Virse for a booklet presentation?
Give reviewers a view of the publication they are discussing, including the pages inside.
Format reference
Show the intended format
Provide a reference for the booklet shape and binding. This helps the preview communicate whether the design belongs to a compact portrait booklet or a wider landscape publication.
Paper appearance
Give paper a visual role
Describe the paper texture and tabletop setting. The resulting image helps explain the intended look of the printed piece during a presentation.
How to create a booklet mockup

Use your completed artwork. Identify which image is the cover and which pages belong to the spread you want to present.
Describe the physical booklet
Add format and binding references. Include the paper appearance and a desktop background if the scene needs one.
Generate the presentation image
Create a static preview of the booklet using your supplied designs and references.
Check the page arrangement
Compare the cover, spread order and text with the source artwork. Check the fold and binding direction before using the image.

Will Virse write or lay out the booklet for me?
No. This tool presents an existing booklet design. Prepare the copy, images and page layouts before generating a mockup.
Can I describe the binding and paper texture?
Yes. Include a binding reference and the paper appearance in your brief. Treat the result as a visual concept, and use a physical sample to judge the actual stock and binding.
Does the output include a printable PDF?

How is a booklet mockup different from a book mockup?
