An A3 wall poster mockup, made for presenting a campaign visual. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
It’s a handy file for illustrators and event promoters. 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.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live.
This is a free file from Mockup Nest. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
What’s inside the A3 Wall Poster Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
Add your design to the A3 Wall Poster Mockup
- Export the ad artwork large so it stays sharp in the scene.
- 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.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Worth remembering: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.

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