MOCKUPS/DUMMY LAYOUTS - A Mock Up Layout is a preliminary layout showing the design, position of illustrations and text prior to the final reproduction. A “Mock-Up” is a representative sample of the final printed piece. Other ways of saying Mockups are dummy layouts, and comps (comprehensive artwork).
