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






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






30. Any area that is free from type or graphics; also known as negative space






31. 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.

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