Can You Pass a Graphic Design Certificate Exam?

The right answer is Unity. Unity is a principle of design, not an element.

Feedback is not a phase of design. The other missing two phases are Implementation and Concepts.

The correct answer is 72 ppi. PPi stands for "pixels per inch."

The correct answer is 150 ppi. A mockup is an example or a prototype of something else that is used for teaching and evaluation.

In graphic design, a rhythm refers to a repeated pattern that "flows" throughout the logo or image. This may also involve colors as well.

"Analysis" is not one of the five types of rhythm. The other missing two types are Alternating and Progressive.

The patterns in the question all describe Rhythm, which is one of seven basic principles of design. Other patterns of rhythm includes lattices and meanders.

Horizontal and vertical axis are used with regard to Unity. This refers to the placement of certain images and logos, so that it creates a meaningful purpose with its surrounding logos, colors and text.

The correct answer is balance. Balance is one of the seven basic principles of design, and refers to how "balanced" the graphic design image is. For example, if all of the shapes are too far to the right in an image (with too much space on the left), this is considered to be imbalanced.

Pixels are not considered to be an aspect of balance (it's an aspect of resolution). Color, shape and size, however, are all aspects of Balance.

When something is smooth or rough, this is referred to as texture. Texture is an element of design, but it isn't a "principle" of design.

"Chroma" is also referred to as saturation. If you see a bright red color for instance, this would be very saturated, where as a dully grey color would not be as saturated.

Violet is not a primary color, it is a secondary color. The other two secondary colors are orange and green.

The correct answer is low key. This refers to images that have dark values of color, which is an aspect of tone.

Blue-green is considered to be the "coolest" color on the color wheel. A "cool" color is the opposite of "warm" colors and refers to blues and greens.

Circles and squares are shapes, which specifically refers to geometric shapes. A naturalistic shape is a shape that is created by nature, like a flower.

You can draw a variety of lines, such as horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. Some lines are also curved, which is an aspect of a "graphic unifier."

An aspect of an image doesn't have to be large for it to be dominant. For example, if you see an all-black piece with a little pink square in the middle, that pink square draws your attention in, so it's considered to be dominant.

A graphic design image can convey a variety of emotions which falls into one of two categories: active and passive. For example, boredom is a passive emotion.

The correct answer is depth, which refers to Spatial aspects of an image ("flat" would be another Spatial aspect). The missing Aesthetic attribute would be Impressionistic.

The correct answer is 300 ppi. This is considered to be the minimum resolution for prints, which will increase depending on how large the print needs to be.

The correct answer is white. If you want to tint a color, or decrease its tone, just add white to it.

While shades don't mean sunglasses in this context, it does refer to making a color look darker. This is simply achieved by adding black to colors like blue, green and violet.

Proximity simply means how close or far two or more things are away from each other. If two things are really close to one another, then they have close proximity.

If two or more elements of an image are proportionate with one another, than they all work in unison with regards to their size, weight and width. If a piece contains several large circles and only one small circle, that small circle would be not in proportion with the other large circles.

Marketing and advertising is a branch of graphic design that implements infographics into their logos and images. This branch also utilizes banners and social media ads.

Publication graphic design involves graphic design images and logos that are used for published prints. Other examples are books and newspapers.

Sublime Text is not a type of graphic design software, but the rest of the answers are. Other notable examples are Illustrator and Photoshop.

Emphasis involves a wide variety of aspects that you can implement to make text and images stand out. You could add value to a color, make a text bold or increase the size of an image to emphasize it.

Straight is not a texture, it's a type of line. Other textures include smooth and rough.

Motion graphic design involves anything that moves. GIFs. trailers, animated logos and apps are all types of graphic design.

Packaging graphic design involves creating logos for various types of products. Some of these includes soap bars, wine bottles and shampoo.

Contrast doesn't only refer to opposite colors, but opposite shapes, sizes and textures as well. It can also refer to focus, such as part of an image being out of focus.

"White space" in graphic design doesn't literally mean "white" in color (though it could refer to it if the background is white). It specifically means that the space in between two or more images or elements is blank or "negative."

A tertiary color is when you mix a primary and a secondary color together. For example, if you mix red and orange together, you get red-orange.
