Sorry, I had to run your post through Google Translate as I don't know Portugese. Here's what it gave me: Most smaller print work would be 300dpi (or ppi) and at very large sizes you could get away with 100dpi minimum. At 100dpi, your image would need to be at least 7087x 5906px. If you're...

Doesn't look like AI, and as far as I know Blender is 3D. Could be done in Adobe Animate or After Effects but I couldn't say for sure which.

I use Toggl.

Probably the best explanation I've seen of this @hankscorpio. If I had a blog or a client newsletter I'd be pinching it word for word.

I'd be willing to bet the client wants it ASAP as well.

I'd consider charging for at least a day's work, probably 2. Plus don't forget, even though it's not so much a creative job, you're still providing the client VALUE. There's a reason they don't want to do it themselves :ROFLMAO:

If you only needed 30 seconds to swap each page out of the scanner and hit the SCAN button, didn't check anything and could combine the files INSTANTLY ((impossible), you'd need at least 4hrs 22min.

Nice maths Hank (I assume combining to PDF is estimated at 30 mins). Working it out like that, this job would be charged at £3.88 /hr. Unless you can scan faster, I'd up the price. It's not a particularly difficult or high-skill task, but that's a lot of time.

How long do you think it will take to do?

Little mashup to brighten your days. Ok why won't the image appear IN the post?

This. Easiest route I'd say is to contact a local printer, show them the image and ask what they can do. If they're willing to recreate it as a vector as part of the job (or a minimal charge), job done (y)

Logitech K380 is a great little tool for making the most out of smaller work areas. There are also small keypads you can use to assign certain functions to any button you like but I'm too used to keyboards to use them.

Sometimes you just need the work, and if there's no flexibility, let the client have his awful design. It's a shame they're landing you with low ratings. What website is this? But if you CAN make enough without this client, there's no dishonour in declining future work for them. Next time you...

I use a keyboard, yeah. The biggest tablet I use is a Cintiq 24 Pro (I also use a 16HD sometimes), and my desk is 160cm wide x 80cm deep, so there's room for a keyboard. I do sometimes use a pretty small bluetooth keyboard instead of a full size one.

Ah I use keyboard shortcuts for most of the tools/selections you described. Much easier. And as for learning more about using any program for illustration, YouTube is your friend.
