indie 500

Alright, this is post number 500 on the infobong, so I thought I might try something a little special. I'm posting a few draft questions for today's RTF 319 quiz, and see if readers know the answers.

1. Graphic formats that describe each individual pixel, are what kind of formats?
2. When do you use .jpg files and when do you use .gif files?
3. What kind of graphic format allows you to scale an image as large as a bus wrap or as small as a Web button?
4. What does CMYK stand for? In what situations would you use CMYK?
5. How do you find a the complement of any color on the color wheel?
6. A color scheme that pairs one hue with a color right or left of its complement on the color wheel is what kind of color scheme?

Click "Yeah... And it don't stop" for the correct answers. 500 posts in a little less than two years is hardly prolific, but that's still not a bad rate of posting... right?

The Answers

1. Raster (or bitmap)
2. .jpg is good for complex, multicolored images like photographs, while .gif is good for line art and simple vector-based graphics.
3. Vector graphics
4. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK. Use CMYK when the finished project is a print product. You use RGB for computer monitors, projectors, and other light-based media.
5. The complement is directly opposite of the given hue.
6. Clashing.
