1. The exact center of the page.






2. Adding white to a hue






3. A compressed image file format.






4. An image or file that is totally composed of pixels. It is useful for photos or complex imagery that would be difficult to create as vector art






5. The colors cyan - magenta - and yellow which a color printer or the printing industry uses. Referred to as CMYK. RGB ( red - green - blue) is computer based and would be used for web work






6. Imaginary lines dividing the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. You place important elements of your composition where these lines intersect.






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






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






9. An area on a layer or image - that has been chosen using a marquee tool - to be edited/painted/changed. This effectively protects all other parts of the layer or image.






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






11. The measure of darkness and lightness within a color






12. The effects created by photographs or digital images






13. Measurement unit for pixel count on digital cameras






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






15. This affects the highlights - shadows - and midtones of an image.






16. The extent to which something blocks light. You can change the opacity of layers - filters - and effects so that more (or less) of the underlying image shows through.






17. Allows the operator to change locations or formats of a document while saving






18. A file format developed by Adobe Systems to allow for display and printing of formatted documents across platforms and systems. PDF files can be read on any system equipped with the Acrobat Reader software.






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






20. One 0 or 1 of binary code






21. 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






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. Uniformly spaced lines.






24. An image/line/shape made only in black - it has no gray. Bitmap mode only contains black and white pixels.






25. Type of software or image in which image is mathmatically created and is very smooth looking






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






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






28. Computer aided drafting and design






29. A file format for storing images - including photographs and line art that is now owned by Adobe Systems






30. Using a computer to combine text - images - and design principles to communicate a message






31. Each time you click when using a selection tool or the pen tool an anchor point is created; each point is the beginning of a new line segment.






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






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






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






35. To make a file small so it uses less storage space






36. 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.






37. 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.






38. When elements on a page are evenly balanced






39. CADD drawing consisting of front - top - and right side view






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






41. In color - the word shade is used to reference how dark the color is. For example - hunter is a shade of green. Shades are derived from a combination of hue and black.






42. CADD line made with a series of dashes representing an unseen surface






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






44. Causes lines or objects to "jump" to a predetermined location






45. Visual element in a page design that the viewer notices first






46. Converting to binary code ( i.e. video - voice - scanning)






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






48. To pick or choose something to work with on the screen. Usually an arrow or box in the tools






49. A message - paid for by a company or organization - used to persuade consumers to purchase a particular product or service






50. The area slightly above and to the right of the geometric center
