When creating a "typography" design, such as the portrait- what tool did you need to customize?
- A.
Pen Tool
- B.
Brush Tool
- C.
Direct Selection
- D.
Gradient Tool
Correct Answer
B. Brush ToolExplanation
The Brush Tool is the correct tool to use when customizing a typography design such as a portrait. The Pen Tool is used for creating precise and smooth paths, while the Direct Selection Tool is used for selecting and manipulating individual anchor points or paths.

When creating groups and labeling layers by color group, you are trying to..
- A.
Get done faster
- B.
Make the picture clearer
- C.
Organize your layers
Correct Answer

In order to get the objects to match a specific color on the color wheel, the artist must complete the following steps:
- A.
Target the layer>desaturate>image adjust>hue and saturation
- B.
Target the objects layer and change the blending mode
- C.
Go the Image>adjust>change color
- D.
Get the colors off the internet>save to photoshop
Correct Answer
A. Target the layer>desaturate>image adjust>hue and saturationExplanation
The correct answer is to target the layer, desaturate the image, and then adjust the hue and saturation. This process allows the artist to manipulate the colors in the image and match them to a specific color on the color wheel. Changing the blending mode of the objects layer and using the "change color" option in Image>adjust are not mentioned in the given steps, so they are not the correct answer. Additionally, getting colors off the internet and saving them to Photoshop is not mentioned in the given steps and is not necessary for matching a specific color on the color wheel.Rate this question:

An analogous color scheme is made up of colors that are opposite on the color wheel.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
An analogous color scheme is actually made up of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, not opposite. This scheme is often used in design to create a harmonious and cohesive look by using colors that are similar in hue.Rate this question:
-
- 8.
The value of a color is its lightness and darkness.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the value of a color refers to its brightness or darkness. It determines how light or dark a color appears.

To create a sense of depth in an image the artist must adjust
- A.
The size of the object
- B.
The clarity of the object
- C.
Position on the page
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
To create a sense of depth in an image, the artist must adjust the size of the object, the clarity of the object, and the position on the page. By varying the size of objects, the artist can create a sense of perspective and distance. Adjusting the clarity of objects can help create a sense of depth by making objects in the foreground appear sharper and objects in the background appear more blurred. Additionally, the position of objects on the page can create a sense of depth by using techniques such as overlapping or placing objects higher or lower on the page. Therefore, all of the above options are necessary to create a sense of depth in an image.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements accurately described a JPEG (or .jpg) compressed digital image?
- A.
The JPEG us used only for color photos
- B.
The JPEG compression alters the proportions of the image
- C.
The JPEG sharpens the image
- D.
The JPEG format compresses file size by selectively discarding data
Correct Answer
D. The JPEG format compresses file size by selectively discarding dataExplanation
JPEG (or .jpg) compressed digital images reduce file size by selectively discarding data. This compression technique removes certain details that are less noticeable to the human eye, resulting in a smaller file size without a significant loss in image quality. This makes JPEG a popular format for storing and sharing images, especially on the internet, where smaller file sizes are desirable for faster loading times. It is important to note that JPEG compression does not alter the proportions of the image or sharpen it, and it is not exclusively used for color photos.Rate this question:

The "multiply" blending mode was used in the "blending mode" project to remove the white pixels in the black and white pattern.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The "multiply" blending mode is commonly used in image editing software to darken or remove white pixels when applied to a black and white pattern. This blending mode multiplies the color values of the pixels in the pattern with the color values of the underlying pixels, resulting in a darker or blended effect. Therefore, it is likely that the "multiply" blending mode was used in the "blending mode" project to remove the white pixels in the black and white pattern.Rate this question:
-
- 17.
Changing the opacity will change the design of the layer.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Changing the opacity of a layer will not change the design of the layer. Opacity refers to the transparency of the layer, so adjusting it will only affect how the layer blends with the layers below it. The design elements within the layer, such as colors, shapes, and textures, will remain unchanged. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

- C.
Painting with white on a layer will reveal the image underneath
- D.
A layer mask covers everything
Correct Answer
A. A layer mask is used to hide or reveal portions of an imageExplanation
A layer mask is used to hide or reveal portions of an image. This means that it can be used to selectively show or hide certain areas of an image, allowing for more precise control over the visibility of different elements within a layer. By painting with blue on a layer mask, portions of the image will be revealed, while painting with white on a layer mask will reveal the image underneath.Rate this question:

To make an image "bleed" to the edge of the paper, while keeping the proportion the same, the artist must press and hold the "Shift" key.
- A.
True
- B.

A form of balance attained when the elements in the work create a sense of equilibrium without being equal on both sides of the central axis is called:
- A.
Symmetry
- B.
Radial balance
- C.
2 point perspective
- D.
Asymmetrical balance
Correct Answer
D. Asymmetrical balanceExplanation
Asymmetrical balance refers to a form of balance in which the elements in a work of art create a sense of equilibrium without being equal on both sides of the central axis. This means that the visual weight of the elements is distributed unevenly, yet still achieves a harmonious and balanced composition.
