Automating Design Mockup Generation

Using scripting to reduce the burden of producing consistent, high quality design mockups.

Summary

Sharing and showcasing design work can take as long as (if not longer) doing the work itself. For each project a design completes there is additional several hours that will be needed to make the work portfolio ready.

To alleviate this pain point for myself, I created a programmatic workflow for automatically batch processing and generating design mockups.

How it Worked

Using Apple Script, Apple's Automator utility tool and Keynote, I created a custom app that could intake any number of image files, resize them, open a template Keynote design file, generate a new slide (mockup) for each new incoming image and then save out the new slides as web-ready image files.
