A mural mockup, made for presenting an exhibition panel. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
It’s a handy file for interior designers and event teams. A small tip: night or backlit scenes usually have a glow layer. Push it up for lightboxes, down for printed paper.
It’s also handy for student and portfolio work, when you want to show a campaign that never went live.
Mr.Mockup created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
What you can edit in this Mural Mockup
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Brightness to match the scene
Add your design to the Mural 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.
- Match the ad’s brightness to the scene with the lighting layers.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.

Questions about this mockup

How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
