I have a working prototype and now need a fully finished vector mural that captures California’s Central Valley in a realistic, painterly way—definitely not cartoony. The final artwork must scale cleanly to a 10 m × 2 m screen-print panel, so please build it as true vector art (Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or comparable) and keep every major subject on its own layer for easy color separations.

Theme & content
The scene centers on the Valley’s nature and landscapes. It should flow like a single panoramic story, weaving together: mountains and rivers rolling down from the Sierra, local flora and fauna in their natural habitats, the region’s rich agricultural rows, hints of both Native and immigrant (Caucasian) cultural heritage, a recognizable stretch of highway, iconic Yosemite granite, towering Giant Sequoias, and the sweep of surrounding vineyards. Balance these elements so the piece feels authentic to anyone who has actually driven through the area. Cultural sensitivity is critical to ensure harmony between groups is represented despite California's complex history.

Visual style
True-to-life proportions, textures, lighting, and color are critical. Think plein-air realism translated into crisp vector shapes—subtle gradients, carefully drawn line work, and enough natural detail that it holds up when viewed just a few feet away on a storefront wall.

Deliverables
• Layered vector file (AI, EPS, or SVG) sized or proportioned to 10 000 × 2 000 mm
• A flattened high-resolution PDF proof for print approval
• A color key noting any Pantone or CMYK builds used

Acceptance
The art should print without visible pixelation, banding, or cartoon styling. Key landmarks (Yosemite granite face, Sequoia bark, local crops) must be easily identifiable, and the overall composition should read smoothly from left to right without awkward gaps.

Additional Notes:
This project involves re-creating an existing design with adjustments based on previous work completed through Freelancer. As I’ve already invested over $300 in this design previously, I’m seeking a cost-effective solution. Familiarity with California’s Central Valley is strongly preferred; lived experience or firsthand reference photos will show in the final result. North America-based freelancers are preferred for their understanding of cultural nuances in California. Let me know if you need my prototype file or additional reference shots and I’ll send them right over.
