Need to show a sale banner to a client? This x-stand banner mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Good pick for print shops, retailers or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: outdoor ads are read in a second or two. Big type and one image will look far better in this scene than a busy layout.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live. Show the same visual on a billboard and a flyer to present a consistent campaign.
This is a free file from GraphicPear. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
What’s inside the X-Stand Banner Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:

- Check the smart object’s ratio first, then build the ad to match it.
