Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Computer aided drafting and design






2. The size of each element in relationship to the whole piece






3. The exact center of the page.






4. Contols how different areas within a layer or layer set are hidden and revealed to show layers beneath






5. The smallest discrete component of an image or picture on a CRT screen (usually a colored dot)






6. A single hue in a color palette that is expanded upon by adding two - three - or more tints (variations in lightness and saturation) of that color - to create a more balanced look. In desktop publishing using monochromatic colors is a technique used

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






15. Rule that states that a page that is designed in thirds is more appealing to the eye than other designs






16. Unit of measurement. 72 points= 1"






17. A file format typically found on higher-end digital cameras; the cameras performs no enhancement processing. This format maintains the best picture quality - but because it's proprietary format - not all images viewers can display it.

20. A set of instructions that causes some action to take place






21. A type of graphics in which the image is created using a series of pixels.






22. 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






23. The number of pixels per square inch on a computer-generated display






24. Shapes found in nature or they can be manmade shapes






25. Visual path created by arrangements of elements within a page design






26. It also includes data compression - but because it is limited to 256 colors - it is more effective for scanned images such as illustrations rather than color photos.






27. Adding black to a hue






28. The computer language which uses combinations of ones and zeroes






29. This principle occurs when two elements are different and The greater the difference the greater the principle






30. This type of software or image allows the user to modify individual pixels
