I have a banner print job to do. The specs of the banner are 20' X 4'. I know that in Illustrator, the max size of a document is somethig like 227 inches. This is the first large scale job I've gotten, and I am ignorant on how to set this up. Should I just scale down the original banner size (20 X 4 ft.) in half? oOr is there a specific way to go about this?
Also, The image the client gave me is a 9 X 11 photo, with a res of 500. This is to fit to size in the left corner. That jammy is gonna be pixelated as all hell, huh?
client will not budge on another image either. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thnx in advance!

msot printers will be happy with artwork at 25% of the size for this kind of job.

what rasko said... and provide the printer w/the hi-res photo and let them insert it when they output...
design w/a low-res version for your purposes.

put a caption on the file itself like this "artwork 25% of original size" and then put down what the actual size needs to be.
as far as the image, the resolution doesn't need to be 300dpi when the output is that big... I forgot exacty, but I think for billboards an image can be like 15dpi... something like that.
