: What should I scale my banner down to and at what resolution? I am making a banner for my company at about 8 x 4.5 feet. I'm wondering what I should scale the format down to and what resolution

@Nimeshi706

Where will the banner go? how far away would a regular person stand whilst viewing it?

For example billboards are often designed at 12-30 dpi because it has very large proportions, a much lower DPI is fine because this type of image is viewed from distance and not up close like a magazine or photo etc.

For the size of banner you are designing, it should be approximately 150 dpi but if in doubt - always ask the printers.
