In Adobe Illustrator - Create one file per graphic. If graphic size is larger than the art board size, work in proportion. For example if graphic is 30''x90'', work half size at 15''x45''. Create murals on one page. Do not tile onto different pages. Work in CMYK, create all text to outlines and include all placed images (like TIF or JPEG). Please provide "bleed" in the layout. Indicate any critical colors using PMS colors. Please note that colors will vary from file to printing substrate.
