Here’s a minimal a-stand mockup that works well for a trade show booth, a counter design and similar projects.
Useful for exhibitors as much as for packaging designers. One thing worth knowing: night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.
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.
Works well for
- A trade show booth
- A counter design
- A point-of-sale display

What’s inside the Minimal A-Stand Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Brightness to match the scene
How to edit this Minimal A-Stand Mockup in Photoshop
- Keep the ad simple: one image, a short headline and the logo.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Check the crop so faces and logos stay inside the frame.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Worth remembering: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Mockups Design. 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.
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.
