dimensional computer graphics, it also encompasses two-dimensional graphics and
image processing. Computer graphics is often differentiated from the field of
visualization, although the two have many similarities.
13. Critical Thinking - the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a
judgment.
14. Die line - is the template for a package. It's a flattened outline of the cut lines and
folds. You cannot create a product package design without one. If you took apart a
cereal box and flattened it out, you'd be looking at the die line.

15. Drawing - is a means of making an image, using any of a wide variety of tools and
techniques. It generally involves making marks on a surface by applying pressure
from a tool, or moving a tool across a surface. Common tools are graphite pencils,
pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoals, pastels, and
markers. Digital tools which simulate the effects of these are also used. The main
techniques used in drawing are: line drawing, hatching, crosshatching, random
hatching, scribbling, stippling, and blending.

16. Electronic media - are media that utilize electronics or electromechanical energy for
the end user (audience) to access the content. This is in contrast to static media
(mainly print media), which are most often created electronically, but don't require
electronics to be accessed by the end user in the printed form.
17. Filters - the color filters filter the light by wavelength range, such that the separate
filtered intensities include information about the color of light.
18. Flattening - A Photoshop CS process in which all visible layers are merged into the
background, greatly reducing file size. Flattening an image discards all hidden layers
and fills the remaining transparent areas with white.

19. Graphic Arts - is a term applied historically to the art of printmaking and drawing. In
contemporary usage it refers to the applied trade-skills of a graphic designer or print
technician. The term can include the trades of lithography, serigraphy and bindery,
among others. Graphic arts as a trade can be traced back to the first instances of the
stamped image or word.
20. Graphic Design - Arrangement of type and visual elements along with specifications
for paper, ink colors and printing processes that, when combined, convey a visual
message.
21. Graphics - Visual elements that supplement type to make printed messages more
clear or interesting.
22. Grayscale - A sequence of shades ranging from black through white, used in
computer graphics to add detail to images or to represent a color image on a
monochrome output device.

23. Handheld device - is a pocket-sized computing device, typically comprising a small
visual display screen for user output and a miniature keyboard or touch screen for
user input.
24. Holistic Skills - All encompassing view based on the knowledge of the nature,
functions, and properties of the components, their interactions, and their relationship
to the whole.
