A balloon mockup, made for presenting a pattern. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.

Good pick for small brands, students or anyone putting together a portfolio. Quick tip: keep your artwork simple. Small objects shrink details quickly, so a bold mark reads better than fine lines.

It’s a nice extra slide in a branding presentation, after the logo and the main applications.

Editable options in the Balloon Mock-up PSD

The PSD is layered, so you can change:

  • Logo or artwork, placed through the smart object
  • Shadows
  • Object colour, where included

Editing the Balloon Mock-up, step by step

  1. Prepare the artwork in your brand colours.
  2. Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
  3. Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
  4. Adjust the shadow so the object sits on the surface.
  5. Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.

Another tip: use a PNG with transparency for logos so the material around them keeps its texture.

Ways to use this Balloon Mock-up

  • Use it as the cover image for a logo in your portfolio.

Good to know

  • Made by GraphicPear. The download size and format are listed on their page.

Questions about this mockup

Can I use this mockup mockup for client work?

It's free to download, but the licence belongs to GraphicPear. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.

How do I add my design?

Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.

Which Photoshop version do I need?

A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.

Can I change the background?

Most object mockups have a background colour or image layer at the bottom of the stack that you can swap.
