Hand drawn illustration to eps file

[mickapoo]

I have a logo that was created in AI. It consists of type, and a graphic. I wanted the graphic recreated. An illustrator then created the graphic by drawing it on pen and paper- by hand.

My question is how do I get this pen and paper graphic, into my Illustrator eps file so that they are both together (the graphic and the type)? I need it in eps so I can resize it to whatever I need to. Can this be done with an illustration that is scanned? They said they were going to scan it as a high res jpg. Not sure how I would integrate the two into one file that can be resized.

Thank you.

Look into Adobe Streamline, it's a program that will take scanned raster images and convert them into vector.

If possible have it saved as a .tiff file.

A scanned graphic will never be fully scalable if it remains in raster format. However, if it is scanned at a high enough resolution (600 or 1200 dpi), then it can be scaled up 2 or 3 times in size and still be of press quality.

If the graphic is of a type that can be vectorised, such as line art, then you could try one of the tracing programs, or do it yourself in Illustrator using the Pen Tool (which would be my preferred choice). Then it would be truly scalable to any size.
