But many designers rely on the same libraries of ready-made mockups. The result? Visuals that feel generic, overused, or disconnected from the brand itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But not for Pixel Bloom Studio. With 7+ years of experience, the designer behind the studio, Raghad Shalby, is using Kittl to generate completely customized scenes that match the exact style and direction of a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKittl always brings my work to life in the best real way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Creator:<\/strong> Raghad Shalby, Pixel Bloom Studio | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pixelbloom_brandstudio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use case:<\/strong> Custom mockups for brand materials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Result with Kittl:<\/strong> Fully stylized mockups tailored to each brand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving beyond generic mockups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest frustrations for designers today is the reliance on generic mockups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the most popular ones are used across thousands of projects. They often don\u2019t match the tone, lighting, or style of the brand being presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of adapting designs to fit a pre-made scene, this design studio uses Kittl to build scenes that fit the brand itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using Kittl\u2019s AI tools and visual editing capabilities, they can control elements such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>lighting and atmosphere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>textures and overlays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>composition and styling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the overall visual tone of the scene<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes it possible to create fully stylized mockups tailored to each project that Raghad praises for being better quality than traditional mockup sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople started asking me where I get my mockups from.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customizing every detail of a mockup with Kittl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.34%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1179\" height=\"1138\" src=\"https:\/\/kittlb-26937.roald-dfw.servebolt.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2983.jpeg\" alt=\"Project by Raghad Shalby\" class=\"wp-image-18824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2983.jpeg 1179w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2983-300x290.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2983-1024x988.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2983-768x741.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image by Pixel Bloom Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1179\" height=\"1122\" src=\"https:\/\/kittlb-26937.roald-dfw.servebolt.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2984.jpeg\" alt=\"Project by Raghad Shalby\" class=\"wp-image-18823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2984.jpeg 1179w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2984-300x285.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2984-1024x974.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2984-768x731.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image by Pixel Bloom Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"815\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/kittlb-26937.roald-dfw.servebolt.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pixel-Bloom-Studio-1-1.png\" alt=\"Project by Raghad Shalby\" class=\"wp-image-18821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pixel-Bloom-Studio-1-1.png 815w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pixel-Bloom-Studio-1-1-300x292.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pixel-Bloom-Studio-1-1-768x746.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image by Pixel Bloom Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raghad shared a personal project she created with Kittl that highlights this approach: Crumb &amp; Brew, a branding concept built around a coffee brand for an online design challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of placing the logo into a standard template, Raghad used AI Image Boards with Kittl Flows to create a fully stylized visual environment for the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>custom apparel mockups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>unique and polished mockups that match their exact vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>stylized lighting and photography scenes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each element was directed to match the personality of the brand identity they created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than adapting the brand to a mockup, the mockups were built to match the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creative control without complex editing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditionally, creating this type of stylized mockup would require advanced photo editing skills or complex software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kittl simplifies that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With AI Image Boards and built-in mockup tools, designers can generate high-quality visuals quickly while maintaining full creative direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows brand designers and studios like Pixel Bloom Studio more time to focus on what matters most:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>developing the brand identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>exploring creative directions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>refining visual concepts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For brand designers, mockups aren\u2019t just presentation tools \u2014 they shape how the work is perceived. And Kittl allows designers to move beyond generic templates and create fully personalized visuals tailored to each brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No more endless searching for the closest match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No more overused mockup libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just polished, stylized scenes designed to fit the identity perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use the designer\u2019s toolbox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support their brand work, Pixel Bloom Studio primarily uses the following features and tools in Kittl:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/kittlb-26937.roald-dfw.servebolt.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AI-That-Empowers_1200x900px.jpg\" alt=\"Kittl Flows\" class=\"wp-image-16794\" style=\"width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AI-That-Empowers_1200x900px.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AI-That-Empowers_1200x900px-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AI-That-Empowers_1200x900px-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AI-That-Empowers_1200x900px-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AI-That-Empowers_1200x900px-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AI-That-Empowers_1200x900px-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/features\/ai\/flows\">AI Image Boards<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/kittlb-26937.roald-dfw.servebolt.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pixel-Bloom-Studio-1-2.png\" alt=\"Fonts in Kittl\" class=\"wp-image-18626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pixel-Bloom-Studio-1-2.png 510w, https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pixel-Bloom-Studio-1-2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kittl.com\/features\/fonts\">Font Library<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/kittlb-26937.roald-dfw.servebolt.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pixel-Bloom-Studio-New-Group-1.png\" alt=\"AI Image Library in Kittl -
