This billboard mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a product launch visual or an ad campaign convincingly.
It’s a handy file for ad agencies and marketing teams. Tip: 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. Combine it with a poster or bus stop ad to show the campaign across several placements.
This is a free file from a designer on Behance. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
What you can edit in this Billboard Mockup
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
How to edit this Billboard Mockup in Photoshop
- Keep the ad simple: one image, a short headline and the logo.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Check the crop so faces and logos stay inside the frame.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
One more thing: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
Where the Billboard Mockup works best
- Share an ad campaign on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.
- Show a movie poster to a client before it goes to print or production.
- Show a product launch visual on your online shop or product page.
