Grade 11: _______________ Student Name:_______________ H.W 6 Unit F: Working with Layers- InDesign CS5 CASE STUDY F-1 Ellen and Phil, with help from their father, are making a photo album Web site for their mother’s birthday. Using the family scanner and InDesign, they are designing a site that will knock her socks off. Ellen said she wanted each photo in the album to have an oldfashioned looking frame. Each frame should be similar to maintain the theme but each group of pictures will have as slightly unique frame. 1. Ellen and Phil have scanned in 5 family photographs from Christmas and Thanksgiving of last year. Their father suggested that they use layers because ____. a. you can hide and show layers b. you can lock and unlock layers c. you can suppress the printing of specific layers d. all of the above 2. As they add the images to the document, their father tells them that images are placed on a layer as a(n) ____. a. object item c. document item b. page item d. graphic box 3. Ellen wants to create a basic frame style but add elements to decorate it for Christmas or Thanksgiving to use it with the appropriate images. How can she easily do this? a. She should create the basic frame without any decorations, duplicate the layer twice and then modify the new layers for the appropriate holidays. b. She should create the first frame for Thanksgiving, write down the steps and create the second frame the same way but use Christmas graphics. c. She should create the first frame for Thanksgiving, copy the frame, delete the Thanksgiving graphics and replace them with Christmas graphics. d. None of the above. 1 CASE STUDY F-2 Reese is in the middle of the biggest document he’s ever created. It has so many layers that he’s starting to get confused. He’s starting to panic, because he can’t keep the layer numbers straight in his head, and there are too many of them to track on the screen without losing his mind. 4. One of Reese’s biggest problems is that he didn’t give his layers ____. a. legends c. tags b. names d. icons 5. Reese can’t remember which objects have been placed on which layer because he failed to change the names of the levels as he created them. What is InDesign’s automatic layer naming system? a. There is no automatic layer naming system. b. Layers are automatically named using a random series of letters and numbers. c. Layers are automatically named using the next consecutive letter: Layer A, Layer B, Layer C... d. Layers are automatically named using the next consecutive number: Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3... MODIFIED TRUE/FALSE 1. Each new InDesign document starts out with an empty layer, named Layer 1. ANS: T 2. Layers are automatically named by InDesign using the next consecutive number. ANS: T 3. The selection color of Layer 1 is black by default. ANS: F, light blue 4. When you have more than one layer in an InDesign document, the Shuffle commands (Send to Back, Bring to Front, Send Backward, and Bring Forward) are applied only to the items on the currently active layer in the Layers panel. ANS: F, Arrange 2 5. Once you duplicate a layer, you can rename it, remove or modify objects on it, and/or add new objects to it. ANS: T 6. Click a layer in the Pages panel to activate it. ANS: F, Layers 7. Clicking the Toggles visibility icon and the Toggles lock icon on the Layers panel is equivalent to using the Show Layer and Lock Layer check boxes in the Page Options dialog box. ANS: F, Layer 8. To move an InDesign object to a new layer, select the object on the page, then drag the Choose selected items icon in the Layers panel to a new layer. ANS: F, Indicates 9. To paste layers, click the Layers panel list arrow, then click Paste Remembers Layers to add a check mark before the command. ANS: T 10. To change the order of layers in the Layers panel, you drag the layer to a new location in the panel. ANS: T 3 COMPLETION Fast Display duplicate targeting hidden Arrange Layers 1. Each new InDesign document starts out with an empty layer on the ________ Layers ____________ panel. 2. ________ Fast Display ____________ replaces each graphic with a gray fill in order to improve speed performance when working in InDesign. 3. Selecting a layer is also referred to as _________ targeting ___________ a layer. 4. When you have more than one layer in an InDesign document, the ________ Arrange ____________ commands (Send to Back, Bring to Front, Send Backward, and Bring Forward) are applied only to the items on the currently active layer in the Layers panel. 5. Once you __________ duplicate __________ a layer, you can rename it, remove or modify objects on it, and/or add new objects to it. 6. No objects can be placed on a(n) _________ hidden ___________ layer. 4
