I'm doing a freelance job for someone but I'm not familiar with large scale printing. They want to send it to a printer who will print it at 36x24 inches. I'm hoping I don't need to make my file that size because then it's already a 300 MB file at 300dpi before I even do anything to it. So what dimensions would you set it up as that it will print well at 36x24? And is 300 dpi good for that? Thank you. I'm so glad this site exists!

*** Thank you for the suggestions but, what I really need to know is not so much resolution (ppi I should've said before) but what INCHES to start a new document in if it will be printed at 36 x 24 inches? 18x12 big enough?
Also want to say this will be done in photoshop as there is minimal text and a photo is taking up the whole area.
