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.

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 | c. | book ends are to books | b. | hugging is to
pinching | d. | brushing is to
flossing |
|
|

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 overall leading | c. | increase the tracking
| b. | reduce the point size of the body copy |
|
|
13.
|
Mark considers gradients to be an important design component for many types of
Illustrator artwork. He tells his team that gradients can be ________.
a. | radial or linear | c. | used to fill multiple objects simultaneously | b. | made of multiple
colors | d. | all of the
above |
|
|
14.
|
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. | baseline shift | c. | horizontal/vertical scaling | b. | kerning | d. | tracking |
|
|
15.
|
Mark knows that his designers aren’t programmers, but he feels it’s
important that a designer has some amount of understanding of how a program works. He asks his team
that, working in Illustrator, if they wanted to create a linear gradient but couldn’t use any
of the gradient tools, they could create the gradient with which of the following
________.
a. | filled rectangles | c. | both a and b | b. | stroked lines |
|
|
16.
|

|
17.
|
In a radial gradient, the starting color appears where?
a. | it depends on how the Gradient tool is applied | b. | at the outside edge
of the gradient | c. | at the center of the gradient | d. | halfway between the center and the edge of the
gradient |
|
|
18.
|

19.
|
When text on a path is "flipped," it does what?
a. | It runs in the opposite direction on the opposite side of the
path. | b. | It is rotated 360 degrees. | c. | It is copied over an imaginary vertical or
horizontal axis. | d. | It runs in the same direction on the opposite side of the
path. |
