Question 1

A nonprofit wants its brochure to be mailed without an envelope. Which design consideration is most important?

Question 2

Which of the following best describes 'visual hierarchy' in brochure design?

Accepted Answer

Arranging elements so the most important information attracts attention first

Answer

Visual hierarchy uses size, contrast, color, and placement to guide the reader's eye through content in order of importance.

Question 3

A brochure headline prints blurry with color fringing, though it looked sharp on screen. The text was likely built how?

Accepted Answer

As a low-resolution rasterized image

Answer

Rasterizing type at low resolution produces soft, fringed edges in print, whereas vector type stays crisp at any size.

Question 4

When would a designer choose a spot color such as a Pantone ink for a brochure instead of CMYK alone?

Accepted Answer

To exactly match a brand color that CMYK cannot reproduce reliably

Answer

Spot inks are premixed to a standard, guaranteeing consistent brand colors that four-color process may shift.

Question 5

Which finish gives a brochure cover a soft, non-reflective surface that reduces glare?

Accepted Answer

Matte or dull coating

Answer

Matte coatings diffuse light for an elegant, glare-free surface, unlike gloss which reflects sharply.
