An indoor hanging poster mockup, made for presenting a movie poster. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Useful for illustrators as much as for event promoters. One thing worth knowing: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
Showing a campaign in context helps clients see the scale; a design that feels loud on a laptop can look quiet on the street.

Indoor Hanging Poster Mockup: editable parts
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Brightness to match the scene
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
- Lighting and shadow layers
Editing the Indoor Hanging Poster Mockup, step by step
- Export the ad artwork large so it stays sharp in the scene.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Dribbble Graphics. 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.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
What ratio should my artwork be?
Open the smart object and check its canvas; design to that ratio. Most outdoor mockups use common print ratios, but it varies from file to file.
