ACA Digital Media & Content Creation 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which color mode is best suited for digital media intended for screen display?
- CMYK
- RGB (Correct answer)

- Grayscale
Correct answer: RGB
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is the standard color mode for screen-based digital media because monitors emit light using RGB channels.
Question 2: In Adobe Photoshop, what does the term 'non-destructive editing' refer to?
- Deleting original files after editing

Correct answer: Using adjustment layers and smart objects to preserve original image data
Non-destructive editing uses adjustment layers and smart objects so the original pixel data remains unchanged and edits can be reversed.
Question 3: What is the primary purpose of vector graphics in digital media?
- To store photographic detail with high pixel density
- To create scalable artwork that stays sharp at any size (Correct answer)
- To apply raster-based filters and effects
- To record audio waveforms visually
Correct answer: To create scalable artwork that stays sharp at any size
Vector graphics use mathematical paths rather than pixels, allowing artwork to scale to any size without loss of quality.
