A movie poster looks better on an indoor poster mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Graphic designers and illustrators tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: 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. Show the same visual on a billboard and a flyer to present a consistent campaign.
Works well for
- A movie poster
- A gig poster
- An art print

What’s inside the Indoor Poster Mockup PSD
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
How to use the Indoor Poster Mockup
- Check the smart object’s ratio first, then build the ad to match it.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- 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 with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.
