An urban citylight mockup, made for presenting a city lightbox ad. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Good pick for city marketers, campaign designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
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 city lightbox ad
- A campaign poster
- A transit ad

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this bus stop ad 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 bus stop ad?
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.
What ratio should my artwork be?
Open the smart object and check its canvas; design to that ratio. Most outdoor mockups use common print ratios, but it varies from file to file.
