I am designing a couple banners that are going to be about six feet long. If I design the banner at a fraction of the size, lets say 1 foot and have them scale it when its printed should I worry about it looking bad?

you should contact who ever is outputting them and ask what they prefer for file specs
someplaces use hellish halftones, some places prefer vector.
it also depends on the method and the material as well.

depend what you're printing on and how far away it will be viewed.
In many places you can design at 1:10 scale at 560 DPI, for other things you need 1:1 300.
Ask your printer.

all the large scale work i do is 1/20th scale with the dpi at 1000.
example:

if your dpi is high, no pixelation. has to be a higher dpi.
