2 Standing Presentation Styles
The set includes two different ways to present your 9×12 publication:
Standing / Elevated View
A clean standing presentation with a slightly elevated viewing angle, making the front cover and thin publication profile clearly visible.
Tilted Standing View
A more dynamic tilted presentation that adds visual interest while maintaining the realistic proportions of a 9×12 saddle-stitched booklet.
Both views are designed to work with the same 9×12 cover format, making it easy to create a consistent presentation across your publication series.
Designed for Thin, Saddle-Stitched Publications
Unlike perfect-bound books with a substantial glued spine, saddle-stitched publications are folded and secured with staples. This mockup is designed with that construction in mind.
The result is a thin 9×12 publication profile suitable for short publications and booklets, while keeping the staples visually subtle rather than making them the main focus of the presentation.
Why 9×12?
The 9×12 format provides a generous page area that works particularly well for music publications and other large-format printed material.
It is especially suitable for:
Sheet Music
Present piano, harp, violin, guitar, vocal and other sheet music covers with a realistic physical-book appearance.
Music Instruction Books
Showcase method books, exercise books, technique guides and instructional publications.
Magazines & Booklets
Create realistic product previews for thin magazines, catalogs, programs and educational booklets.
Create Your Mockup in Photoshop
This is an Action-based Photoshop mockup, not a Smart Object PSD mockup.
The workflow is simple:
1. Run the ‘Starter Template’ Action Step
Start with the included 9×12 template.
2. Add Your Cover Artwork
Place your complete cover design into the template.
3. Run the ‘Render 3D’ Action Step
Choose either the Standing or Tilted Action and let Photoshop create the finished 3D mockup.
No complicated manual distortion or perspective work is required.

A Useful Addition to Your Mockup Library
