A hanging outdoor sign mockup, made for presenting wayfinding signs. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Architects and shop owners tend to get the most out of files like this. Match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
Showing a campaign in context helps clients see the scale; a design that feels loud on a laptop can look quiet on the street.
Use it for
- Wayfinding signs
- A shop sign
- A neon logo

How to edit this Hanging Outdoor Sign Mockup in Photoshop
- Check the smart object’s ratio first, then build the ad to match it.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Use the glow layer for night or backlit scenes.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Worth remembering: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
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.
Can I change the surroundings?
Usually only lighting and shadows are adjustable. The street, sky or building are part of the photo.
