Here’s a metal display poster mockup that works well for a gig poster, a campaign visual and similar projects. The metal surface is the main character here, so designs with some contrast stand out best.
It’s a handy file for illustrators and graphic designers. 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. Show the same visual on a billboard and a flyer to present a consistent campaign.
Works well for
- A gig poster
- A campaign visual
- An art print

How do I put my artwork on the poster?
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.
