PRINTED ARTWORKS

How can I make sure my printed mural is not replicated for anyone else?

Every printed mural we design is original to your project and built to your brief. We don't sell stock designs or licensed library artwork, and your artwork won't be reused for anyone else. Commercial usage rights and exclusivity are based on the scope outlined in our quotes and built into every project agreement, so you know exactly what you're licensed to use and where. We will never replicate the exact same design for another client.

Why commission a printed mural design when I could generate one with AI?

AI tools are useful for early concept exploration and quick reference visuals. We sometimes use them ourselves for that. What they don't deliver is a finished artwork that's original to your space, owned by you, with clear commercial usage rights and no risk of the same generic style appearing (or already in existence) on someone else's wall. Printed mural design from a working artist gives you something specific to your brief, your brand and your site. The artwork is built with print in mind from the start, so the file works at scale across any substrate. Revisions are considered and intentional rather than another roll of the dice. And the design is genuinely yours, not a variation of a prompt thousands of other people are typing into the same system.

How do I find the right artist to design a printed mural?

Look for someone who is equally skilled at graphic design and digital illustration as they are at painting murals at scale. Artwork has very different impact on a screen than it does at three metres tall on a wall, and only an artist who has spent years painting commissioned murals understands how a design needs to be composed, weighted and detailed to actually work in a space. A graphic designer with no mural experience will design for the screen. A muralist with no graphic design background will struggle to deliver a print-ready file that meets a printer's specs. Dan has both. A Bachelor of Communication Design with Honours, a qualification in fine art mediums, and over 14 years painting commissioned murals across Australia for clients including Hilton, Adidas, LinkedIn and Deloitte. That's the right combination of skills for this kind of work.

How much does a printed mural design cost?

Design is quoted per project based on artwork complexity, scale and licensing. Printing and installation are quoted separately by your supplier. We provide a fixed quote upfront for the design component before any work begins. We base costs on a time allocation at Dan's set current day rate. Costs from our end include time for brief development, design, file set-up for print and liaising with printers.

Can I commission a printed mural from anywhere in the world?

Yes. Design is delivered digitally, so location isn't a factor. Once the print-ready file is supplied, any local printer or signage company can handle production and installation in your region.
