Large-Format Print-Ready Illustrator Flag Design
Budget: $10 – $50 USD
Convert an AI-Generated Team Flag Design into Print-Ready Illustrator Data for Large-Format Printing
Project Overview
We already have a completed flag design image for a youth baseball team.
The design was created using generative AI, and the overall design direction, layout, and atmosphere are already decided.
However, this will be printed as a large team flag, so the current image cannot simply be enlarged and printed as-is.
We need the existing design to be prepared as print-ready Illustrator data suitable for large-format printing.
This is not just a JPG/PNG export task.
This is also not a task where you simply place the current image into Illustrator.
The purpose is to prepare the existing design as a proper Illustrator file that can be delivered to a client or print shop.

________________________________________
Existing Materials
We will provide the following materials:
• Current flag design image
• Current Illustrator file
• Related image/logo materials
• Original requirement document
The current design is a sporty team flag design using blue, light blue, white, and black.
It includes large “Shinsho” text in the center, a slogan at the top, sponsor information at the bottom, and a QR code.
________________________________________
Final Print Size
Please create the Illustrator artboard at the following actual size:
Width: 2900 mm
Height: 900 mm
Please keep the design as a horizontal flag/banner layout.
If there is any issue with this size, please ask before starting the work.
________________________________________
Bleed and Safe Margin
Please prepare the file with the following settings:
• Final size: 2900 mm × 900 mm
• Bleed: 30 mm on all sides
• Safe margin: at least 50 mm inside from the final trim edge
Important text, logos, QR code, and sponsor information must not be placed too close to the edge.
________________________________________
Resolution Requirement
For raster/background parts, please prepare them at a quality suitable for large-format printing.
Minimum requirement:
• 100 dpi at actual size
• Preferred: 150 dpi at actual size
For reference, at 150 dpi, the final artwork should be approximately:
17100 px × 5300 px or higher
The brush-style background does not have to be fully vectorized if that is difficult.
A high-resolution raster background is acceptable.
However, important elements such as text, logos, sponsor names, and QR code must be clean and not blurry when enlarged.

Scope of Work
1. Rebuild and prepare the current design as Illustrator data
Please use the current design image as the base and prepare it as large-format print-ready Illustrator data.

Please improve or rebuild the parts that may become blurry when enlarged, including:
• Main “Shinsho” text
• Top slogan
• Sponsor name
• QR code
• Important text and logo areas
• Background resolution where needed
• Areas that may become pixelated
• Layer organization
• Vectorization where possible

2. Do not simply place the image into Illustrator
The following delivery conditions are not acceptable:
• Just placing a JPG/PNG image into Illustrator
• Text or logos becoming blurry when enlarged
• QR code not readable
• Images remaining as external links
• Fonts not outlined
• Images missing when opened by the print shop
• No quality check at actual print size
Please prepare the file properly for print delivery.

1. Background
2. Main “Shinsho” text
3. Top slogan
4. Sponsor area
5. Sponsor logos/text

Final Note
This project is not a new design project.
The task is to prepare the existing AI-generated flag design as large-format print-ready Illustrator data.
A file where the image is simply pasted into Illustrator, or a delivery that only includes JPG/PNG exports, is not acceptable.
A full redesign or complete full-vector recreation is not required, but important elements such as text, logos, QR code, and sponsor information must be prepared cleanly so they will not look blurry in large-format printing.
