A shop sign looks better on an indoor direction sign mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Good pick for architects, branding studios or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: outdoor ads are read in a second or two. Big type and one image will look far better in this scene than a busy layout.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live.
Use it for
- A shop sign
- A neon logo
- Wayfinding signs

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this sign mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixpine. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the sign?
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.
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.
