Show a campaign poster the way it will actually look: on an isolated citylight poster mockup.
Good pick for city marketers, ad agencies or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: 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.

What’s inside the Isolated Citylight Poster Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
- Brightness to match the scene
Editing the Isolated Citylight Poster Mockup, step by step
- Export the ad artwork large so it stays sharp in the scene.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- 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.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.
