1. With focal length and subject distance unchanged, which aperture would usually create the shallowest depth of field?
f/16
f/8
f/2
f/11
2. A close camera position makes a portrait subject's nose look disproportionately large. Which change would most directly reduce that perspective exaggeration while keeping a similar head size in the frame?
Stay in place and use a wider aperture
Stay in place and use a faster shutter speed
Move closer and use a wider-angle lens
Step farther back and use a longer focal length
3. You are photographing a runner crossing the frame in bright daylight and want to freeze the motion. Which shutter speed is the most suitable starting point?
1/15 second
1/250 second
1/60 second
1/1000 second
4. A website places small, pale-gray body text on a white background. Which design problem is most directly involved?
Insufficient luminance contrast
Inconsistent image resolution
Excessive color saturation
Overly tight image cropping
5. A 4:3 photograph must fit a 16:9 frame without stretching any objects. Which edit directly changes the aspect ratio while preserving natural proportions?
Increasing the image's DPI metadata
Applying stronger sharpening
Cropping the image to 16:9
Resizing the width independently of the height
6. A multi-page brochure feels disorganized because headings and images begin at slightly different horizontal positions. Which tool would most directly improve its visual structure?
A stronger sharpening filter
A consistent alignment grid
A wider camera aperture
A higher image-compression setting
7. A poster uses a generous empty area around its headline and main photograph. What is a likely design purpose of this negative space?
To separate elements and focus attention
To make every element equally prominent
To eliminate the need for alignment
To reproduce more colors during printing
8. A logo must appear on both a business card and a large outdoor sign. Why is a vector version especially useful?
It automatically selects the correct brand colors
It gives every printed image a photographic texture
It always creates a smaller file than any raster format
It can be scaled without becoming pixelated
9. Why might a photographer choose to capture RAW files when planning substantial color and exposure edits?
RAW files prevent all blown highlights in any exposure
RAW files are finished prints that need no processing
RAW files generally retain more sensor data for editing
RAW files are vector graphics and scale without limits
10. An underexposed photograph looks much grainier after its shadows are heavily brightened. What is the most likely explanation?
The lens acquired a smaller maximum aperture
The adjustment converted the image into vector artwork
The adjustment made existing image noise more visible
The shutter speed changed after the photograph was taken
11. A photographer positions a railing so its edges visually guide viewers from the foreground toward a person in the distance. Which technique is being used?
Natural framing
Leading lines
Radial symmetry
Pattern interruption
12. A correct exposure is made at 1/250 second and f/8. If the shutter changes to 1/500 second while lighting and ISO stay the same, which aperture preserves approximately the same exposure?
f/16
f/11
f/4
f/5.6
13. While refining a wordmark, you adjust only the awkward space between the letters A and V. What typographic adjustment are you making?
Kerning
Tracking
Leading
Baseline shifting
14. A room lit by tungsten bulbs looks strongly orange in a JPEG photo. Which in-camera white-balance setting would most directly help neutralize that cast?
Tungsten or incandescent
Shade
Cloudy
Daylight
15. A commercial process-color printing press creates its color separations using which model?
RGB
CMYK
HSL
HEX
16. Which composition most clearly applies the rule of thirds to a landscape photograph?
Tilting the horizon diagonally across the frame
Placing the horizon near an upper or lower third line
Positioning every object at the exact center
Filling each third with an equal number of objects
