A product launch visual looks better on an industrial billboard mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Ad agencies and students pitching campaigns tend to get the most out of files like this. 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.
Showing a campaign in context helps clients see the scale; a design that feels loud on a laptop can look quiet on the street. Combine it with a poster or bus stop ad to show the campaign across several placements.

- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
- Brightness to match the scene
- Lighting and shadow layers
How to use the Industrial Billboard Mockups
- Export the ad artwork large so it stays sharp in the scene.
- 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.
- 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.
One more thing: night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Mockups Design sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
How do I put my artwork on the billboard?
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.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Mockups Design gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
