back to the quiz

So here you've got the answers, but not the explanations for why these are the correct answers. For those insights you’ll have to commit yourself to a design education; whether that means you enroll in design or art school, or you commit to spending part of each day doing what’s necessary to acquire the relevant understanding. Either way, your education will give you far more than a couple of explanations here ever could.

I sincerely hope you enjoyed this little quiz.
