Adobe - Design Principles - Digital Image terms

This type of image is created with pixels.

• vector

• raster

• stock images

• object shapes

Answer explanation

Think of it this way, Vector (V =sharp point), made with mathematical calculations, has sharp crisp edges no matter how big you make it.

Raster, like a rooster, ruffles its feathers when made bigger and looses quality.

This type of image is a computer-made graphic that is made up of points, lines, and curves that are based upon mathematical equations.

• raster

• vector

• object shape

• stock images

Answer explanation

Think of it this way, Vector (V =sharp point), made with mathematical calculations, has sharp crisp edges no matter how big you make it.

Raster, like a rooster, ruffles its feathers when made bigger and looses quality.

This process converts a vector graphic into a raster graphic. In Photoshop you can do this to type and shapes to convert them from vector to raster.

• render

• object shape conversion

• rasterize

• bit-depth

Answer explanation

The suffix -ize means "to cause to be formed into" thus to rasterIZE something means to make it into a raster graphic.

These are created in vector graphics and are versatile lines that have points along the line that can be edited.

• object

• shape

• stroke

• path

Answer explanation

Strokes are outlines of PATHS. An object's shape is defined by the paths.

Object shape is defined by a ___________.

• rendering

• path

• points

• fill

Answer explanation

The PATHS define the boundaries of a shape, and the path has points along the path. Then you can fill the shape and then add shading to it to render it.

Shape of a vector path is defined by the __________ that are plotted along that path.

• line

• stroke

• point

• object

Answer explanation

POINTS along a path can be a smooth bend or a sharp corner thus creating the shape.

The ________ color follows the path.

• line

• shape

• fill

• stroke

Answer explanation

The stroke of a line is the color that is applied to the line. It can be solid, dotted, hash-lines, thin, thick, or even varied but it follows the path.

The __________ occupies the area inside the path.

• fill

• stroke

• object

• object shape

Answer explanation

When a path is not a straight line, enclosed or not, it can be FILLED with a color.

To ___________ means to create an image in a computer program like Photoshop or Illustrator.

• render

• draw

• compose

• copyright

Answer explanation

Render is a digital form of draw but a drawing is done pencil/pen to paper.

The use of artistic tools in an application, like Photoshop or Illustrator, to add shading, texture, and realism to a work is called __________________.

• artistic rendering

• shading

• design principles

• harmony

Answer explanation

When you create the illustration digitally, and then go back and make it look more realistic, you're using ARTISTIC skills to RENDER the image.
