This hanging wall poster mockup is one of the simpler ways to present an art print or a gig poster convincingly.
Useful for graphic designers as much as for event promoters. Tip: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live. Show the same visual on a billboard and a flyer to present a consistent campaign.
Works well for
- An art print
- A gig poster
- A movie poster

How to use the Hanging Wall Poster Mockup
- 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.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
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.
