Help creating a 3m/3m banner...

[dpcdpc11]

Hi all... me and my friends are planning a huge techno party and I want to make a huge banner like 3 meters Width and 3 meter Height.

Can you give me a few pointers here? I mean what elements should I use? Can I use digital photos and if yes at what resolution do I need them?
Should I work on a canvas at 35433px / 35433px @ 300dpi?
Should I use Adobe Illustrator instead of Photoshop for such a huge project?

I hope you can help me with this one because even though I'm not new to PS, I'm new to the printed world so I still need to learn a few things and could use some advices from the masters here.

Thanks in advanced,
Cristian

You'll probably need to do your work in Illustrator. As it's a vector based program, size will be no issue. As long as you do the work proportional to the banner size (say, 3" X 3"), you can re-size your work to whatever size you need without any degradation in quality.
