  1. Which menu in Illustrator contains both Illustrator Effects and Photoshop Effects?

    Answer: Effect

    The Effect menu is split into Illustrator Effects (vector) and Photoshop Effects (raster).

  2. What is the key advantage of applying an effect versus permanently altering an object?

    Answer: It is non-destructive and editable

    Effects are live and non-destructive, so the original artwork remains editable.

  3. Where do applied live effects appear so you can edit or delete them?

    Answer: Appearance panel

    The Appearance panel lists all live effects, fills, and strokes for a selected object.

  4. Which effect creates a soft, blurred shadow behind an object?

    Answer: Drop Shadow

    Drop Shadow adds an offset, blurred shadow behind the selected object.

  5. What does the Effect > 3D and Materials feature let you do?

    Answer: Extrude and revolve 2D shapes into 3D

    The 3D and Materials effect extrudes, revolves, and rotates flat artwork into 3D objects.

  6. To edit an already-applied live effect, you should:

    Answer: Double-click the effect name in the Appearance panel

    Double-clicking the effect in the Appearance panel reopens its dialog for editing.

  7. Which effect category should you avoid for print if you need clean vector output?

    Answer: Photoshop (raster) Effects

    Photoshop Effects are raster-based and depend on resolution, unlike vector Illustrator Effects.
