Question 1:
Which color scheme consists of three colors that are equidistant from each other on the color wheel?
A) Analogous
B) Monochromatic
C) Complementary
D) Triadic
Answer: D) Triadic
Explanation: Triadic color schemes involve three colors that are evenly spaced on the color wheel. An example of a triadic color scheme is red, yellow, and blue. This color scheme creates a vibrant and balanced composition. Another example could be orange, green, and purple.
Question 2:
Which color scheme consists of colors that are next to each other on the color wheel?
A) Analogous
B) Monochromatic
C) Complementary
D) Split Complementary
Answer: A) Analogous
Explanation: Analogous color schemes involve colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. For example, red, orange, and yellow form an analogous color scheme. This color scheme creates a harmonious and cohesive composition. Another example could be blue, green, and turquoise.
Question 3:
Which color scheme consists of different shades, tints, and tones of a single color?
A) Analogous
B) Monochromatic
C) Complementary
D) Triadic
Answer: B) Monochromatic
Explanation: Monochromatic color schemes involve using different values (shades, tints, and tones) of a single color. For example, using different shades of blue in a composition creates a monochromatic color scheme. This color scheme creates a sense of unity and simplicity. Another example could be using different tints of pink.
Question 4:
Which color scheme consists of colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel?
A) Analogous
B) Monochromatic
C) Complementary
D) Split Complementary
Answer: C) Complementary
Explanation: Complementary color schemes involve using colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. For example, red and green are complementary colors. This color scheme creates a strong contrast and can be visually striking. Another example could be blue and orange.
Question 5:
Which color scheme consists of a base color and two colors adjacent to its complementary color?
A) Analogous
B) Monochromatic
C) Complementary
D) Split Complementary
Answer: D) Split Complementary
Explanation: Split Complementary color schemes involve using a base color and two colors adjacent to its complementary color. For example, if the base color is blue, the split complementary colors would be yellow-orange and red-orange. This color scheme creates a balanced composition with a greater variety of colors. Another example could be if the base color is purple, the split complementary colors would be yellow-green and blue-green.

Question 1:
What term refers to the space between lines of text?
A) Kerning
B) Leading
C) Tracking
D) Baseline
Answer: B) Leading
Explanation: Leading refers to the space between lines of text. It is measured from baseline to baseline. Proper leading ensures readability and legibility of text. For example, if the leading is too tight, the lines of text may appear crowded. If the leading is too loose, the lines of text may appear disjointed.
Question 2:
What term refers to the space between individual characters in a word or line of text?
A) Kerning
B) Leading
C) Tracking
D) Baseline
Answer: A) Kerning
Explanation: Kerning refers to the space between individual characters in a word or line of text. It is used to adjust the visual spacing between letters for better readability and aesthetics. For example, in the word \”letter,\” the \”t\” and \”e\” may need to be closer together to improve the overall appearance.
Question 3:
What term refers to the horizontal line upon which characters rest in a line of text?
A) Kerning
B) Leading
C) Tracking
D) Baseline
Answer: D) Baseline
Explanation: The baseline is the horizontal line upon which characters rest in a line of text. It provides a consistent reference point for the placement of characters. For example, in a line of text, all the characters align along the baseline for proper legibility.
Question 4:
What term refers to the overall spacing between characters in a word or line of text?
A) Kerning
B) Leading
C) Tracking
D) Baseline
Answer: C) Tracking
Explanation: Tracking refers to the overall spacing between characters in a word or line of text. It is used to adjust the overall density and appearance of text. For example, increasing the tracking can create more open and airy text, while decreasing the tracking can create more condensed text.
Question 5:
Which of the following is a typeface classification that is characterized by strong, thick lines?
A) Serif
B) Sans-serif
C) Script
D) Display
Answer: B) Sans-serif
Explanation: Sans-serif typefaces are characterized by strong, thick lines and do not have small decorative strokes at the ends of characters (serifs). They are often used for digital and screen-based designs due to their legibility at small sizes. An example of a sans-serif typeface is Helvetica.
