If you’re presenting a movie poster, this street billboard mockup makes the idea feel real before anything is produced.
Useful for students pitching campaigns as much as for marketing teams. Tip: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.
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.
GraphicBurger created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.
Editable options in the Street Billboard Mockup PSD
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Glow layer for backlit scenes, where included
- Lighting and shadow layers
- Brightness to match the scene
Editing the Street Billboard Mockup, step by step
- Keep the ad simple: one image, a short headline and the logo.
- 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.
- Check the crop so faces and logos stay inside the frame.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
Ways to use this Street Billboard Mockup
- Present a movie poster in a client proposal or brand guide.

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.
