I was wondering if there are any resource online that have images of hands that can be photoshopped into renderings. I have attached a couple examples where showing the human interaction with product helps communicate how to use the design.
Thanks
I would just take a picture of someone with a nice hand in front of a green backdrop mimicking the pose I needed. That or stock photos.
The example hand looks oddly photoshopped. Is that a bevel and emboss effect on the lower edge of the hand? Sorry, professional hazard. There are tons of stock photography hands. I’ve been using adobe stock a lot for product rendering backgrounds and what not.
Thank you both!
For a quick mock up, and when 99.99% of the people seeing it are non-designers, I think it is fine.
The brightness/contrast stands out more to me than the dodgy drop shadow on the bottom edge.
It looks like a plastic hand.
You can do 2 things:
- Use stock photography. For example, we did a pregnancy tester so we looked up pregancy tester or diabetes lancet devices to find acceptable hands holding actual products that were the approximate size.
- Take your own photos. Find somebody with nice hands and have them hold a physical prototype or something roughly the same size. If you set up the lighting correctly you shouldn’t have to do too much PSD.
