Q

What are the advantages of adding objects to parent pages?

A

By adding objects such as guides, footers, automatic page numbers, and placeholder frames to parent pages, you can maintain a consistent layout on the pages to which the parent is applied. Also, you can make changes on the parent page once, and that change will be applied to all pages based on that parent page.

Q

What’s the advantage of basing a new parent page on an existing parent page?

A

By basing a new parent page on an existing parent page, you create a parent–child relationship between the new parent page and the existing one. Any changes you make to the Based On parent page are automatically applied to the second parent. This makes it much faster to apply global changes.

Q

How do you handle items that print to the edge of the paper?

A

Objects that will print up to the edge of paper must extend past the edge of the page and into the pasteboard area in the file, at least up to the bleed guides. It is not important that objects end at the bleed guide. The bleed guides show the minimum amount that they must extend past the page edge.

A

Click Object > Transform > Rotate

57
Q

A quick way to select an object in a group is to:

A

Double-click the object with the Direct Selection tool

58
Q

When should you use the Selection tool to select an object, and when should you use the Direct Selection tool to select an object?

A

Use the Selection tool for general layout tasks, such as positioning, rotating, and resizing objects. Use the Direct Selection tool for tasks involving editing paths or frames, such as moving an anchor point on a path or selecting an object within a group and then changing the object’s fill or stroke color. Use the Direct Selection tool to select the content of the frame to make changes without changing the frame, such as rotating or scaling an image inside a frame while the frame remains unchanged.

59
Q

How do you move an object from one layer to another?

A

When the object is selected, a solid square displays in the right column of the Layers panel. Drag this square to a different layer. The object will now be on the new layer. You’ll be able to see that it’s now behind or in front of objects on other layers, depending on whether you moved it to a higher or lower layer.

60
Q

When you select an object and choose Object > Arrange > Bring To Front but the object is still not in front of some objects, why does that happen?

A

The arrange commands operate within each layer, and not between layers. That object is not on the top or frontmost layer.

61
Q

Without ungrouping objects, how do you select an object within a group?

A

To select an object within a group, use the Selection tool (Image) to select the group, and then click Select Content (Image) in the Control panel to select one object in the group. You can then click Select Next Object (Image) or Select Previous Object (Image) to select different objects in the group. You can also select an object in a group by clicking the object with the Direct Selection tool (Image) or double-clicking it with the Selection tool.

62
Q

How do you align objects to another specific object?

A

Select all of the objects you want to align. Then click the object to which you want all of the other objects to align again. This becomes the key object, which is indicated by a thicker highlight around that object. Then choose Align To Key Object from the Align, Control, or Properties panel. Click the alignment you want, such as Align Top Edges or Align Horizontal Centers, or any of the other choices.

72
Q

Which app for iPad, iPhone, and Android lets you create color themes using your device’s camera?

A

Adobe Capture

73
Q

What is the advantage of creating colors in the Swatches panel instead of the Color panel?

A

If you use the Swatches panel to apply a color to text and objects and then decide you want to use a different color, you don’t need to update each use of the color individually. Instead, change the color’s definition in the Swatches panel, and the color changes automatically throughout the layout.

74
Q

What are the three general steps involved in applying a swatch of color?

A

The three general steps to applying a color swatch are: (1) selecting the text or object, (2) selecting the stroke or fill box, depending on what you want to change, and (3) selecting the color. You can access color swatches in various panels, including Swatches, Control, Properties, and Tools.

75
Q

What are the pros and cons of using spot colors versus process colors in print jobs?

A

By using a spot color, you can ensure color accuracy. However, each spot color requires its own plate on the press, so using spot colors can be more costly. Use process colors when a job requires so many colors that using individual spot inks would be expensive or impractical, such as when printing color photographs.

76
Q

After you create a gradient and apply it to an object, how do you adjust the direction of the gradient blend?

A

To adjust the direction of the gradient blend, use the Gradient Swatch tool to repaint the fill along an imaginary line in the direction you want.
