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






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






3. 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.






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






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






6. Changing the total number of pixels in an image.






7. One 0 or 1 of binary code






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






9. Freeform lines






10. The exact center of the page.






11. 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






12. The use of many shades of gray to represent an image.






13. Part of the page in which there are no images or text






14. 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






15. black powder that is fused to paper to make the image on a laser printer

17. paper orientation that is vertical






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

21. A collection of assembled images.






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






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






24. Radial symmetry is the regular arrangement of material around a central axis






25. 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

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






28. Paper orientation that is horizontal

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






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






32. A setting in photoshop that has been placed/installed in the menu bar for you - so that you don't have to repeatedly create these particular settings for a project. Example: US Paper






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






34. The duplication of elements or details on one or more pages






35. A compressed image file format.






36. Design is typically off-center or created with an odd or mismatched number of disparate elements






37. The effects created by photographs or digital images






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






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






40. Adding black to a hue






41. CADD line placed on a drawing to indicate measurements






42. 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.






43. Determines the color model used to display and print the photoshop file






44. A feature that hides specific areas so that you can work on the part of the image that is not masked.






45. 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.






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






47. Stylized or simplified versions of natural shapes






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






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