What resolution would I need to print a good image on a banner 3' x 8'?

1. 150 DPI times the size: That means 36 inches X 150 DPI =540 pixels by

96 inches X 150 pixels = 1440 pixels.

So the answer is 540 X 1440 pixels.

Of course, if you're using just EPS files or PostScript fonts, you have no worries, because they're device-indepent and scalable.

2. I'll need to buy a photograph of a wave.

I made an invitation for my BIL's 50th BD party. I made it look like the old Hawaii Five-0 art, with the big wave, and in the bottom right-hand corner the words "Rossii Five-0" in a font as similar as I could find it.

My sister wants a banner that looks the same. So I need to make this thing up -- in what program, I still don't know -- in the size she wants, then send the file to Kinko's.

Maybe I'm in over my head.

Thanks, Redstone :hi:
