A minimal shop sign mockup, made for presenting window graphics. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Good pick for café owners, branding studios or anyone putting together a portfolio. Check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.
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.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this storefront mockup for client work?
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 storefront?
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.
Can I change the surroundings?
Usually only lighting and shadows are adjustable. The street, sky or building are part of the photo.
