Case Based Critical
Thinking
Mark finds that
many of his designers are mostly Photoshop gurus and aren’t fully up to speed with using the
Pen tool to draw objects in Illustrator, and because of this, much of their line work and choices for
stroking effects are unsatisfactory. He also finds that they are unaware of the basic concepts behind
the Live Paint feature and how they relate to standard Illustrator working
methods.
|
|
|
23.
|
Mark finds that his designers
don’t know any of the terms used to describe different components of a path. He tells his
designers to compare a path drawn with the Pen tool to a road through the woods. With that analogy, a
smooth point would occur at these places in the road:
a. | curves | b. | hills | c. | corners | d. | steps |
|
|
|
24.
|
Mark reminds his team that line
work is a critical component of Illustrator artwork. He reminds them to remain aware of joins and
caps because their function is ____.
a. | aesthetic - they affect only the
appearance of stroke | b. | practical - they affect miter limits and butt caps connect two right angle
path segments | c. | both a & b | d. | none of the above |
|
|
|
25.
|
To explain the concept of the
Live Paint feature to his team, Mark knows he must reinforce the basic rules of painting objects in
Illustrator. He creates two circles in Illustrator with no fill and no stroke, then positions them so
that one is overlapping half of the other. He refers to this as “the artwork.” He then
tells his team that - without using Live Paint - the total number of different fills and stroke
colors that could be applied to “the artwork” is:
a. | 1 fill color and 1 stroke
color | b. | 2 different fill colors and two different stroke
colors | c. | three different fill colors and two different stroke
colors | d. | three different fill colors and four different stroke
colors |
