Exam 2: Creating Text and Gradients

Text in Illustrator can never be typed vertically.

Which of the following is the best comparison to a radial gradient?

A single word can be both tracked and kerned.

Once a word has been tracked, you can no longer apply kerning.

The location of a midpoint in a gradient can be changed.

When you click the Show All command, all the hidden objects are selected when they are revealed.

Once text is flowed onto a path, only its typeface and type size can be modified.

Kerning is less useful for large headlines than it is for body copy because larger text seldom requires kerning.

Once text is flowed into an object, you can no longer manipulate the object as you would have previously.

By definition, kerning affects the space between two characters.

In a radial gradient, the starting color appears where?

Positive tracking or kerning values move text characters closer together.

Press [Ctrl] (Win) or [Command] (Mac) to toggle between a type tool and the selection tool.

Text alignment, text indents, and spaces after paragraphs can all be modified in which panel?

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 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.

All open Illustrator documents are listed at the bottom of the Window menu.

A negative value for the distance of the text's baseline in relation to the path "floats" the text above the path.

-In the above figure, number 1 points to an example of tracking.

For ____ gradients, where you begin dragging and where you end dragging determines the length of the blend from starting to ending color.
