Show a city lightbox ad the way it will actually look: on a vertical subway poster mockup.
Useful for city marketers as much as for campaign designers. Quick 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.
Agencies use scenes like this in pitch decks, where a realistic placement often sells the idea more than the artwork alone.

What you can edit in this Vertical Subway Poster Mockup
The PSD is layered, so 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 use the Vertical Subway Poster Mockup
- 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.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Another tip: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.
