big print question

• tuig

  this is the deal.
  i'm designing a wall(2-20m) and its full of pixel art(yes).
  its going to matrix plotted(72dpi)

  now my question is how do i make up the file.do i make a file of 2by 20(72dpi) ? or different.

  kinda stuck here.

  thanks in advance

  good questions. probably best to speak to your printer before starting anything. but from my experience of big prints you can work at 1/4 scale and they blow it up for you. I was a bit nervy about the quality the first time but the technology they use is very impressive. not sure how it will affect pixel art tho.

  good luck

  figured it a bit out i think.

  i wil make at 150 dpi(also plotted as 150dpi) and wil make the pixel shape just as a square that equals 4 pixels...tested it a bit out and will work good on the wal.but damn 2 by 20 m it scares me a bit.
  client decided it was good but you know what happens if he gets stressed..the shit runs downhill...
