Question 8 • Introduction to Information Technology - EL3701

What is an easy and accurate way that a graphic designer can increase the size of a digital shape while keeping the ratio of height to width the same?

Answer

First make the height taller, and then drag the width by using one’s eyes to try to make sure the proportions stay the same.

Hold the key, such as Shift, that the program uses to make sure all dimensions are adjusted while dragging just one side.

Open the shape’s properties window, and type the height value multiplied by 2 and the width value multiplied by 3.

First convert the shape into a photo file, and then digitally manipulate it in a program such as Adobe Photoshop.

Explanation

Use the program’s proportional-scaling modifier key, such as Shift, while dragging a handle. This makes the height and width change together, preserving their ratio. Adjusting each dimension by eye is less accurate, and multiplying height and width by different amounts would change the proportions.
