Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) To achieve an effective design, pay careful attention to the following design elements: consistency, balance, restraint and detail. Throughout each message, be consistent in your use of margins, typeface, type size, spacing, color, lines, and position. Balance is an important but sometimes subjective design issue. Strive for simplicity. Pay attention to details that affect your design and thus your message.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) For most documents, you shouldn't need more than two typefaces, although if you want to make captions or other text elements stand out, you can use another font. Using more typefaces can clutter a document and produce an amateurish look.
