Presenting a street banner? Put it on this metal banner stand mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file. The metal finish gives the preview a tactile look that flat artwork doesn’t have.
Good pick for retailers, print shops or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live.

What’s inside the Metal Banner Stand Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Brightness to match the scene
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
Add your design to the Metal Banner Stand Mockup
- Check the smart object’s ratio first, then build the ad to match it.
- 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.
- Match the ad’s brightness to the scene with the lighting layers.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this banner mockup for client work?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I put my artwork on the banner?
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.
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.
