Show a trailer ad the way it will actually look: on a highway trailer mockup.
Good pick for logistics companies, food truck owners or anyone putting together a portfolio. 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. Combine it with a poster or bus stop ad to show the campaign across several placements.

What’s inside the Highway Trailer 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
Editing the Highway Trailer Mockup, step by step
- Export the ad artwork large so it stays sharp in the scene.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Match the ad’s brightness to the scene with the lighting layers.
- 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.
Where the Highway Trailer Mockup works best
- Make two or three colour versions of a trailer ad and let the client pick.
- Use it as the cover image for a food truck wrap in your portfolio.
- Share a fleet livery on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

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 put my artwork on the truck?
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.
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.
