WHAT THEY DID
Ameer Ali visits the site, researches the brand, lists brand-linked elements and gets client approval on two or three thumbnails. He paints in Procreate, splits a 10 by 100 ft wall into two 120 by 600 inch canvases at 300 DPI with aligned edges, and a separate vector artist traces each section in Illustrator.
HOW IT WENT
He says the vector files come back print-ready and shows several restaurant murals. No measured outcomes.
WORTH KNOWING
Procreate couldn’t handle full-size files (only four or five usable layers), and the workflow depends on a second person. Pricing, timing and installation aren’t covered.
