Show an ad campaign the way it will actually look: on a wall billboard mockup.
Ad agencies and marketing teams tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick 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.
This is a free file from Dribbble Graphics. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
What you can edit in this Wall Billboard Mockup
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Brightness to match the scene
- Lighting and shadow layers
How to edit this Wall Billboard Mockup in Photoshop
- Keep the ad simple: one image, a short headline and the logo.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.
Where the Wall Billboard Mockup works best
- Make two or three colour versions of an ad campaign and let the client pick.

- Show a product launch visual to a client before it goes to print or production.
Before you download
- Made by Dribbble Graphics. The download size and format are listed on their page.
- Some free mockups ask for credit when you post them. A short line in your caption is enough.
- Check the smart object size before you design, so your artwork fits without stretching.
