Read the first 7 Project Workflow & Industry Standards flashcards as text

  1. A designer is archiving a completed project. Which practice best ensures the archive can be reopened and edited years later?

    Answer: Package the project files, including linked assets and fonts, into a single folder

    Packaging collects all linked images, fonts, and the working file into one folder, ensuring nothing is missing when the file is reopened.

  2. What is the purpose of creating a proof before a large print run?

    Answer: To verify colors, layout, and content accuracy before committing to full production

    A proof is a small test print used to catch color or layout errors before expensive mass production begins.

  3. In UX/UI design workflow, what does 'handoff' to developers typically involve?

    Answer: Providing annotated design specs, exported assets, and style guides in a tool like Zeplin or Figma

    Handoff packages design specifications, measurements, and assets so developers can build the UI accurately without guessing.

  4. A project has a tight deadline and the client requests a change after final approval. What is the industry-standard response?

    Answer: Assess the impact on timeline and budget, then issue a change order if the scope increases

    Post-approval changes that affect scope are handled through a change order that adjusts the timeline and cost accordingly.

  5. Which practice best demonstrates professionalism when managing multiple client projects simultaneously?

    Answer: Using project management tools to track deadlines, milestones, and deliverables for each client

    Project management tools (like Asana, Trello, or Basecamp) provide visibility into deadlines and workload across multiple concurrent projects.

  6. What does 'soft proofing' in Photoshop allow a designer to do?

    Answer: Simulate on-screen how a design will appear when printed with specific inks and paper

    Soft proofing uses an output device's ICC profile to simulate the printed result on screen before physical output.

  7. A company's internal style guide specifies that body copy must use Helvetica Neue at 10pt with 14pt leading. What does 'leading' control?

    Answer: The vertical space between lines of text

    Leading is the vertical distance from one line's baseline to the next, controlling the openness and readability of body text.
