Free 60x40cm Poster Mockup

Cheers to Iulian Rusu for creating and sharing this free 60x40cm poster mockup with the design community. Happy downloading!
This 60x40cm poster mockup captures the exact moment a design lives outdoors rather than on a screen, framed behind glass in a black outdoor display case and mounted against a warm, textured stucco wall.
The photograph itself does a lot of the work here. Soft natural light rakes across the wall, a bit of greenery and a terracotta pot creep in at the edge of the frame, and a faint reflection sits on the glass, all of which sell the idea that this is a real advertising board on a real street corner, not a flat digital render.
That authenticity is exactly what makes it useful for showing poster work to a client or in a portfolio, because it answers the question “what would this actually look like in public” far better than a plain white background ever could.
Because the frame reads as municipal or commercial signage, this mockup fits naturally for event posters, gallery and exhibition announcements, film or theatre promotion, protest or awareness campaigns, restaurant and retail advertising, or any street poster design meant for outdoor display cases, bus shelters, or building facades.
The deep teal-green sample artwork in the frame is a placeholder, and its cool, muted tone against the neutral beige wall gives a good sense of how a design with strong contrast will pop inside the dark frame.
If you’re testing your own poster, it’s worth trying a few different background colors and value ranges before settling on one, since the glossy glass surface adds subtle reflections that can wash out very light or very busy designs.
Placing Your Design Into the Frame
Working with this kind of mockup is straightforward in any layered editor.
Open the file and locate the smart object or layer marked for the poster artwork, usually sitting directly beneath the glass and reflection layers.
Double-click into it, paste or place your own poster design at the correct proportions, then save and close to let it snap back into perspective automatically.
Keep the reflection and shadow layers intact above your artwork, since they’re what ground the poster in the scene and keep it from looking pasted on.
If your design has large flat color areas near the edges, nudge the opacity of the glass reflection layer down slightly so text and logos near the border stay legible.
Once your artwork is in place, this mockup pairs well alongside other presentation shots, a flat print view, a close-up crop of the typography, or an indoor frame mockup, so viewers get both the tactile print detail and the real-world outdoor context in one presentation set.
