Hi there! I am a self-taught marketing gal that is currently making a 7'x8' banner for print. Like I mentioned, I am completely self taught in Photoshop and it's gotten me pretty far....until now!

I have never made anything this large for print before. I have always just winged it, so to speak, but now I really need to know this:

Does my file size need to be the same size as it is going to be printed? Does my file need to be 7'x8'? Is EPS the best file type for vector images to be printed? What PPI should I use?! 300?

I am making a photo background for an event--think the backgrounds you see on the red carpet with all of the logos.

I will gladly take any help I can get... I have scoured the internet and I can't find anything directly pertaining to this question.

Thank you!
