Product Details

Fade Effect Vinyl Record & Cover v.2 Mockup

A smooth fade across the vinyl gives this record-and-cover scene a different rhythm from marbled or splattered effects. The disc overlaps the sleeve in a front-facing presentation, bringing the color transition, center label and album artwork into one image. Use version 2 to explore a gradient-style pressing concept without the visual detail of a highly textured effect.

What Is Included

  • 1 layered PSD scene, 6000 × 4000 px at 300 DPI, in landscape orientation.

  • 1 small JPG reference preview and 1 PDF user manual.

  • 6 Oswald OTF font files; 9 files in the archive, with one editable mockup.

Let the Fade Carry the Color Story

Change the special-effect colors and personalize the label and cover designs. The movable cover and optional movable sticker let you adjust the presentation around your artwork. Background color and design are editable, and the sticker can use your own graphic.

Easy Smart Object Editing

The file works in Adobe Photoshop CC2020 or newer and Photopea. Replace the artwork in the relevant Smart Objects, save those objects, then use the organized layers to refine the available colors and layout elements.

Perfect For

Develop collector-edition proposals, coordinated release visuals, album design portfolio images or a presentation for a record label. The fade treatment is useful when you want color variation while keeping the overall disc appearance comparatively simple.

This is a digital presentation mockup, not a physical vinyl record or a manufacturing template. The sample artwork in the gallery is not included.

Match the Transition to the Album Mood

Start with two tones already present in your cover, then compare a subtle pairing with a more contrasting one. Keep the sleeve and label unchanged for this first test. That isolates the effect of the disc colors and makes it easier to judge whether the fade supports the release identity.

Who Is It For?

Music packaging designers, independent labels, artists and creative studios can use this file to develop a special-edition visual or explain a color direction to collaborators. The single scene suits a focused brief; the wider collection supports comparison across different effect families.

Check the Disc Against Light and Dark Backgrounds

A pale fade can appear quieter against white, while a dark surrounding color can emphasize its edges. Compare both backgrounds before selecting the campaign image, and check that the center label remains distinct from the innermost color area.

A Concept, Not a Manufacturing Promise

The PSD visualizes the intended relationship between colors. A pressing plant must confirm how a comparable fade can be produced and how the finished record may vary. Prepare label and sleeve print files to the supplier’s specifications, separately from your mockup exports.

Build a Complete Collection

This product is part of the special-effect collection. For a more textured alternative, compare the marbled v.2 scene using the same cover design.

Are the six color examples separate scenes? No. They illustrate alternative color treatments in the single included PSD.

Bring your ideas to life.

We're a family-run studio in Katowice, Poland, making PSD mockups by hand since 2016. Everything in this shop starts in our own studio. We shoot the photography, build the 3D, and put together every Smart Object PSD ourselves - then we test it, organize the layers, and only ship it once it actually works...
