If you’re presenting a yearly calendar, this horizontal wall calendar mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
Good pick for print shops, corporate designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. Quick tip: export your artwork at the size the smart object asks for; scaling a small file up is the usual reason print mockups look soft.
Print jobs are expensive to redo, so a realistic preview before the order goes out is cheap insurance.
Mockups Design created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Editable options in the Horizontal Wall Calendar Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Front and back artwork, where both sides are shown
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
How to edit this Horizontal Wall Calendar Mockup in Photoshop
- Set up the design flat at the real print size and keep text inside a safe margin.
- 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.
- Tweak the shadow and highlight layers to suit your colours.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
One more thing: if the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.
Ways to use this Horizontal Wall Calendar Mockup
- Show a yearly calendar on your online shop or product page.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Mockups Design sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
How do I put my artwork on the calendar?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
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.
Will my artwork look printed or pasted on?
Most print mockups keep the paper texture and lighting on separate layers above your design, so it takes on the grain and shadows. If it still looks too clean, lower the opacity of your artwork a little.
