A vector graphic:

Loses clarity as you enlarge it
Can be scaled up to any size without becoming fuzzy/distorted

Correct Answer

A. Can be scaled up to any size without becoming fuzzy/distorted

Explanation

A vector graphic is a type of image that is created using mathematical equations rather than pixels. This allows it to be scaled up or down to any size without losing any clarity or becoming fuzzy/distorted. Unlike raster graphics, which are made up of a fixed number of pixels, vector graphics can be infinitely resized because the mathematical equations are recalculated to maintain the image's sharpness and smoothness. This makes vector graphics ideal for logos, illustrations, and other designs that may need to be resized frequently without any loss of quality.

RGB is the correct colour setting for:

Graphics which will appear in print
Graphics which will appear on screen
Graphics which will appear on a t-shirt

Correct Answer

A. Graphics which will appear on screen

Explanation

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is the correct color setting for graphics that will appear on screen. This is because screens emit light and use additive color mixing, where red, green, and blue light are combined in varying intensities to create different colors. RGB color mode is widely used in digital platforms such as websites, social media, and multimedia presentations, as it accurately represents colors on screen. For graphics that will appear in print or on a t-shirt, the correct color setting would be CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) as it uses subtractive color mixing and is better suited for printing processes.

Once I have started working on a new document:

I can change the dimensions of the artboard and add more artboards
I can change the dimensions of the artboard but can't add more artboards
I can add more artboards, but only if they are the same dimensions as my first one
I can only draw on the artboard size I selected at the beginning

Correct Answer

A. I can change the dimensions of the artboard and add more artboards

Explanation

Once the user has started working on a new document, they have the ability to change the dimensions of the artboard, meaning they can adjust the size of the canvas they are working on. Additionally, they can also add more artboards, allowing them to create multiple canvases within the same document. This gives the user flexibility in terms of the size and number of artboards they can work with.

To pan (move side-to-side or up and down) around my drawing, I can:

Hold down the space bar and the enter key together
Hold down the enter key
Hold down the spacebar and direct the page with my mouse
Click with my mouse very quickly

Correct Answer

A. Hold down the spacebar and direct the page with my mouse

Explanation

To pan around a drawing, you can hold down the spacebar and direct the page with your mouse. This means that while holding down the spacebar, you can click and drag the mouse to move the drawing side-to-side or up and down. This allows for easy navigation and exploration of different parts of the drawing without changing any settings or tools.

There are pixels in a vector graphic.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

A vector graphic does not consist of pixels. Unlike raster images, vector graphics are made up of mathematical equations that define the shapes and lines. This allows vector graphics to be scaled infinitely without losing quality, as they are resolution-independent. Therefore, the statement that there are pixels in a vector graphic is false.

The 'Bounding Box' is:

The page limit
A border around an object that will be printed if I don't remove it
A frame around an object that lets me manipulate it

Correct Answer

A. A frame around an object that lets me manipulate it

Explanation

The correct answer is "A frame around an object that lets me manipulate it." A bounding box refers to a visual frame or outline that surrounds an object in a graphical software or design tool. It allows users to select, move, resize, and transform the object within the boundaries of the box. The bounding box is a useful tool for manipulating and editing objects in a precise and controlled manner.

In the Layers panel, I can: (check all that apply)

Lock a layer
Create a new layer
Drag artwork from one layer to another if it is selected
Delete a layer

Correct Answer(s)

A. Lock a layer
A. Create a new layer
A. Drag artwork from one layer to another if it is selected
A. Delete a layer

Explanation

In the Layers panel, there are multiple actions that can be performed. One can lock a layer to prevent any changes or modifications to its content. It is also possible to create a new layer, allowing for the addition of new elements or artwork. If a layer is selected, artwork can be dragged from one layer to another, facilitating easy organization and arrangement. Additionally, a layer can be deleted if it is no longer needed.
