This light box signage mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a city lightbox ad or a transit ad convincingly.
Campaign designers and city marketers tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.
Agencies use scenes like this in pitch decks, where a realistic placement often sells the idea more than the artwork alone. Show the same visual on a billboard and a flyer to present a consistent campaign.

Editable options in the Light Box Signage Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Brightness to match the scene
How to edit this Light Box Signage Mockup in Photoshop
- Check the smart object’s ratio first, then build the ad to match it.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Use the glow layer for night or backlit scenes.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.
