| What is the definition of "Composition"? | The organization or grouping of the different parts of a work of art so as to achieve a unified whole. |

| "A type of balance where the visual elements are arranged in a deliberately unequal manner in a compositional layout, appearing random and dynamic, lacking balance, and is visually off-kilter." | Dynamic/Asymmetrical Balance |
| There is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the preceding two numbers. This series is known as what? | The Fibonacci Sequence |

| "The surrounding area of an object or compositional element. It is defined as the negative space in a compositional layout, as well as everything else in a layout that is not an active, positive form." | Ground |
| Which part of a grid's anatomy is defined as "Organizing a page grid into an array of modules provides you with a wider range of active and dynamic compositional layouts while still maintaining the basic structure and elements of a grid system."? | Field |
| For centuries, whenever a flat surface needed to be enhanced or something needed to be built, or just dividing up an area, some form of grid system was used. Who used grids? (Select all that apply) | Renaissance artists, Cartographers, Architects, Typographers |
| The larger the margins, the less focus on the content. | False |
| The standard look of the grid system for newspapers was established by whom? | Massimo Vignelli |
| "Each is defined by boundary and mass, referring to the outline of a form. Small and intricate can balance large and simple. Similarly, large, uncluttered areas can be balanced with small, irregular spaces since the eye is drawn to both." | Balance via Shape |
| What term does this definition belong to? "The systematic relationship of one element to another in any given compositional layout." | Proportion |

| How many Points are in 1.5 inches? | 108 |
| "A visual principle that fundamentally provides the eye with a noticeable and obvious difference between two elements or object." | Contrast |
| "This is created when an object is juxtaposed in a compositional space that functions as its surrounding ground" | Simple Figure-Ground |
| "Usually unpleasant, this is a visual, as well as psychological, attention-getting device used in compositional layouts." | Tension |
