Convert bitmap images to vector and render in Illustrator (Mac)

Industry: Education Design details: Hi I want someone proficient in Illustrator, fast and efficient. Must be a UK-based freelancer, using Adobe CC for Mac. I need black and white bitmap images converted to vector in Illustrator and then coloured. The images are already scanned, but a few may need cleaning or adjusting in Photoshop first. Colours have already been defined for these characters. I'm looking for bids on an hourly rate, and preferably someone in the Winchester/Southampton area. This is an on-going project, but happy to trial initially. Target audience: Freelance Ideas for the visual style: Crisp and clean Preferred colors: Existing palettes Where the design will be used: Print Extra notes:
