Case Based Critical
Thinking
Mark’s
design team has taken on a number of projects that involve display text and gradients. Mark considers
typography to be a fine art, and he thinks that gradients are often a very effective component of
good Illustrator design, so he is excited to take this opportunity to put his team through typography
and gradient boot camp.
|
|
|
23.
|
One project that the team is
working on involves display type that will appear very large on a billboard. Mark tells the team
that, of all the ways to modify text in Illustrator, ____ is the most essential for perfecting large display type.
a. | horizontal/vertical
scaling | b. | baseline shift | c. | tracking | d. | kerning |
|
|
|

The specification for all body
copy in a series of ten related fliers - all designed in Illustrator - calls for 11pt type with
12.5pts leading and -10 tracking. One of the designers flows body copy text into the main text box on
flier number five, formats it, then realizes that one paragraph is overflowing the text box. He tells
Mark how he solved the problem, and Mark tells him that, of all the choices he had for fitting the
text, he chose the worst option in terms of the overall design of the total project of ten fliers.
The designer’s bad choice was to ____.
a. | reduce the point size of the body
copy | b. | reduce the overall leading | c. | increase the tracking
|
|
|
|
25.
|
One of Mark’s designers
is having difficulty with tracking and kerning - specifically, when to use tracking and when to use
kerning. Mark asks four other designers to provide an analogy for tracking and kerning. He is pleased
with all four analogies, but he says that the best of the four analogies is that tracking is to
kerning as ____.
a. | group is to
individual | b. | hugging is to pinching | c. | book ends are to books | d. | brushing is to
flossing |
