27. In color - the word tint is used to reference how light a color is.






28. A type of creative thinking in which one generates new solutions to problems

44. Design in which eye moves from left to right - down to the lower left and to the right again






45. Duplicates an area of an image by setting a target point in one location - and painting in another location.






46. An image or file that that is calculated and stored according to mathematical formulas rather than pixels - resulting in a smaller file size and the ability to resize the image without a loss in quality






47. When one or more elements on a page are not balanced






48. A device that captures a copy of a 2-D object so it can be brought into the computer






49. Closeness creates a bond between people and between elements on a page
