What does the "N" in the DNA memory aid stand for, and why is it important?
- Answer: It stands for Numbers. This includes Hex codes, font sizes, and leading/tracking values. These numbers remove guesswork so that the design remains consistent across different software and devices.
- Hint: Think about the "immutable values" mentioned in the Detailed Summary.

Which term describes a math-based line that stays perfectly smooth regardless of how much you zoom in on it?
- Type: MCQ
- Options: Raster Image, Pixel Path, Vector Path, Hex Line
- Correct Answer: Vector Path
- Explanation: Vector paths use mathematical equations rather than pixels, allowing them to be scaled to any size without losing quality.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
The DNA Architect: You are creating specifications for a "Sports App" identity. Choose a Font Pair (one for headers, one for body) and justify your Typesetting Data (Leading and Tracking) based on the "Identity and Relationships" context (energetic, fast-paced).
- Solution:
- Fonts: Bebas Neue (Heading) for its bold, impactful look; Open Sans (Body) for its high legibility.
- Typesetting: I would specify tight leading for headers to make them feel "dense" and powerful, and standard tracking for the body to ensure athletes can read it quickly while on the move.
- Hint: Match the "voice" of the font to the purpose of the app.
💡 Hint: Match the "voice" of the font to the purpose of the app.
The Integrity Audit: Look at a "Don'ts" list for a famous brand like Apple or Google. List three common "Don'ts" and explain how they protect the Vector Construction or Color Palette of the brand.
- Answer:
- "Do not stretch": Protects the mathematical proportions of the vector paths.
- "Do not use off-brand colors": Protects the specific Hex/CMYK values that users recognize.
- "Do not add drop shadows": Ensures the logo remains clean and "flat," maintaining the specified visual hierarchy.
- Hint: "Don'ts" are there to prevent "Visual Distortion."
