Graphic Artists: Art Meets Technology 

1. “Many graphic artists who obtained their training 15 to 20 years ago will have a problem finding work if they haven’t learned to use computer software to create their (1) art.” declares Sue Mauro, publicist for a U.S. hotel chain. (2) In fact, successful businesses often rely on the creativity and talent of graphic artists to create and produce images and text in the form of digital media, print, films, packaging, and signage.
2.  Mauro’s comment (3) was also applicable to the creation of animated films. (4) Flip-books are a perfect basic example of early animation; each drawing in the book has a slight variation from the preceding drawing. When the pages are flipped in rapid (5) succession; an action scene unfolds over a few seconds. Traditional animated films are based on this same principle, (6) although their production is much more complicated and time-consuming. In traditional film animation, several drawings are meticulously applied to (7) cels. Sheets of clear plastic. (8) As a result, the entire series of cels is photographed in succession, creating a long, moving cartoon story. Layering cels allows objects that remain stationary to reappear so that only the moving parts must be redrawn.
3. [1] This old way of creating (9) animated moving films is known as traditional ink-and-paint and has given way to today’s digital ink-and-paint.
[2] In the digital ink-and-paint process, the hand drawings are scanned and digitized.
[3] (10) The rest of the production of the film takes place through the use of the computer rather than being applied to individual cels.
[4] This method has greatly decreased the (11) amount and length of time that it takes to create a whole film, and has allowed (12) animators, from all over the world, to contribute to a single film’s production.
[5] With more advanced technologies, animators can even draw their original pictures on a graphics tablet that enters the data directly into a computer.
[6] Once the outline of the drawing is complete, it is rather simple to add color.
[7] In addition, it is easier to make changes than it is with traditional ink-and-paint.
[8] Digital animation also produces an entirely different look to the finished (13) product, and graphic art has always depended on fresh, new looks to grab viewers’ attention. (14)
4. Though some graphic artists resist change, those who delve into this new technological world often find a way to become comfortable with the marriage of art and technology. The bottom line is that working with technology may be the only way to remain in their chosen field.
Q. (14) For the sake of the logic and coherence of this paragraph, Sentence 5 should be placed:
  • a)
    where it is now.
  • b)
    before Sentence 3.
  • c)
    before Sentence 4.
  • d)
    after Sentence 7.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Describing data entry on a graphic’s tablet corresponds to the mention of scanning hand-drawn images into a computer describes in Sentence 2. Sentence 3 introduces the description of the computer-side editing process, so Sentence 5 could come before it.

(2) In fact, successful businesses often rely on the creativity and talent of graphic artists to create and produce images and text in the form of digital media, print, films, packaging, and signage.2. Mauro’s comment (3) was also applicable to the creation of animated films. (4) Flip-books are a perfect basic example of early animation; each drawing in the book has a slight variation from the preceding drawing. When the pages are flipped in rapid (5) succession; an action scene unfolds over a few seconds. Traditional animated films are based on this same principle, (6) although their production is much more complicated and time-consuming. In traditional film animation, several drawings are meticulously applied to (7) cels. Sheets of clear plastic. (8) As a result, the entire series of cels is photographed in succession, creating a long, moving cartoon story. Layering cels allows objects that remain stationary to reappear so that only the moving parts must be redrawn.3. [1] This old way of creating (9) animated moving films is known as traditional ink-and-paint and has given way to today’s digital ink-and-paint.[2] In the digital ink-and-paint process, the hand drawings are scanned and digitized.[3] (10) The rest of the production of the film takes place through the use of the computer rather than being applied to individual cels.[4] This method has greatlydecreased the (11) amount and length of time that it takes to create a whole film, and has allowed (12) animators, from all over the world, to contribute to a single film’s production.[5] With more advanced technologies, animators can even draw their original pictures on a graphics tablet that enters the data directly into a computer.[6] Once the outline of the drawing is complete, it is rather simple to add color.[7] In addition, it is easier to make changes than it is with traditional ink-and-paint.[8] Digital animation also produces an entirely different look to the finished (13) product, and graphic art has always depended on fresh, new looks to grab viewers’ attention. (14)4.Though some graphic artists resist change, those who delve into this new technological world often find a way to become comfortable with the marriage of art and technology. The bottom line is that working with technology may be the only way to remain in their chosen field.Q.
