Which file format to use?
I have a project where i’m to have files delivered from an illustrator. The images are watercolors with objects outlined in black. I suggested to the illustrator to have the files on 2 layers. One watercolor painting while another one vector drawing. The reasoning is that this way i’ll be able to zoom in into the picture without the black outlines loosing the quality (i don’t care if the water color painting does). Thus my question is what would be the best file format for the black outlines?

Photoshop files in a high dpi 300 or so

I’d want the vector artwork delivered in Adobe Illustrator (.AI), EPS, or PDF.
Just make sure you emphasize the vector part to your illustrator, because all three formats can contain raster data, too.
