Exam 2: Creating Text and Gradients

Hiding objects is one way of making it easier to select objects on the artboard.

Text created with the Type tool can be filled with which type of gradient?

Even after text is converted to outlines, you can still change the typeface.

The point at which two colors in a gradient meet is called what?

When you click a type tool cursor on text and apply the Select All command, the text and all objects on the artboard are selected.

Text you create by clicking the artboard is called art text.

Text generated by the Type tool is positioned on a path called what?

When text on a path is "flipped," it does what?

-In the above figure, number 2 points to an example of a 50% horizontal scale has been applied to the text, which means that the text was wider before the scale was applied.

When text is flowed into an object, you can no longer use the Direct Selection tool to distort the shape.

Tracking inserts uniform spaces between characters to affect the width of selected words or entire blocks of text.

The colors used in a gradient are represented in the Gradient panel by small house-shaped icons called locations.

If the preference that allows you to select text by clicking anywhere on the text is turned off, the only way to select text is by clicking on its baseline.

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. -Mark considers gradients to be an important design component for many types of Illustrator artwork.Which of the following would he most likely not discuss when advising his team about gradients?

In the figure above, number 1 is pointing to the vertical distance between the two lines.What is that called?

When you convert text to outlines and apply a gradient fill, the gradient automatically fills each letter individually.
