Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Even without special training in graphic design, you can make your printed messages more effective by understanding the use of some key design elements: white space, margins and line justification, typefaces, and type styles.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Throughout each message, be consistent in your use of margins, typeface, type size, spacing, color, lines, and position. In most cases, you'll want to be consistent from message to message as well; that way, audiences who receive multiple messages from you recognize your documents and know what to expect. Style sheets and themes can be a big help here.
