Job Title
Graphic Designer for Custom Wall Mural
Project Overview
We are looking for a talented graphic designer to create a custom wall mural for our recreation room. The design should be visually striking yet not overly busy (the TV is on that wall), ensuring that key elements are not placed behind furniture or windows.
Design Requirements
The room will be used by both children and adults, so the design should be engaging and warm, incorporating earthy tones such as browns, deep rust, deep gold, soft white, greens, and blues. Since the ceiling is low in this part of the room, we would like the design to have an upward energy, creating a sense of height and openness while staying cozy.
Style Options
We are considering three different styles for this project and would like your expertise on what will look best in the room.
1. Whimsical Celestial Forest Mural
A magical, nature-inspired mural that blends the beauty of the forest with the mystery of the cosmos. This style should feel dreamlike, with a balance of earthy and celestial elements.
Key Features
Night Sky & Constellations: Deep blue or black sky with hand-drawn constellations, stars, and cosmic swirls blending into the trees.
Forest Scene: Stylized trees with golden, orange, and autumn-colored leaves, some glowing as if reflecting starlight.Mystical Animals: We are located in New England, USA, and our native wildlife includes owls, deer, foxes, rabbits, bluebirds, and bears.
Overall Style: A blend of folk art, celestial fantasy, and whimsical nature illustration with fine hand-drawn details and an organic, immersive feel.
2. Abstract Celestial Landscape Mural
A large-scale, ethereal design that combines abstract landscapes with celestial elements. This style should be fluid and organic, with textured brushstrokes creating a sense of movement and depth.
Options
Abstract Rolling Landscapes: Layered hills in deep blues, greens, and rust tones.
Celestial Sky & Constellations: A vast, dark sky with stylized constellations, moons, and glowing orbs.Gold & Metallic Accents: Gold or copper highlights for trees, stars, and celestial objects. Metallic details for an embossed, luminous effect.
Stylized Foliage: Oversized leaves in teal, green, and rust shades with fine gold detailing.
Color Palette
Deep teals, navy, and forest greens for a celestial atmosphere. Rust, copper, and terracotta for warmth. Gold and soft metallic highlights for a shimmer effect.
Overall Style
A dreamlike, immersive, and artistic mural with a balance of abstract and celestial elements. The design should feel fluid and harmonious, evoking a connection between nature and the stars.
3. Enchanted Woodland Mural
A serene, magical forest scene that combines stylized nature elements with rich, illustrative details. The goal is to create a harmonious blend of wildlife, organic forms, and soft, flowing movement.
Key Features
Deep, Mystical Forest Scene: Silhouetted trees in warm ochre, deep blue-green tones, and layered shadow effects. Lush greenery, rolling hills, and soft golden light filtering through the trees.
Wildlife Presence: Stylized deer, birds, and other woodland creatures. Birds should feel animated and free, filling the sky with movement. Deer and animals should have a peaceful, regal presence.
Flowing Elements & Movement: A river-like sky connecting the heavens and earth. Golden highlights suggesting soft, glowing sunlight.
Color Palette
Deep greens, muted teals, and warm ochres. Soft creams and golden hues for warmth. Dark navy or deep blues for contrast and depth.
Overall Style
A blend of abstract and stylized realism with painterly brushstrokes, intricate details, and organic flow. The mural should feel immersive, peaceful, and balanced, evoking the beauty of a hidden woodland.
Project Requirements
The design must be formatted for large-scale printing with high resolution. The artwork should be structured so that no important elements are blocked by furniture or windows. I will have the parts of the design that are over the windows printed on fabric and make shades. The final file should be provided in vector or high-resolution raster format suitable for a wall mural.
Ideal Candidate
Experience creating wall mural designs or large-scale artwork. Strong portfolio demonstrating nature-inspired, abstract, or celestial themes. Ability to provide multiple concept variations and refine based on feedback. Knowledge of print-ready formats for large-scale mural applications.
Budget & Timeline
Please include your estimated timeline and budget in your proposal. We are looking for a high-quality, detailed design and are open to discussing rates based on experience and complexity.
Application Instructions
If you are interested, please submit: Your portfolio or relevant work samples. A brief description of your approach to this project. Your estimated timeline and pricing structure. We look forward to collaborating with a talented artist to bring this vision to life!
