2.What do you mean understand by graphic and how we apply
colour to pagemaker ?
A graphic refers to any visual element used to convey information, attract
attention, or enhance design. In publishing and design software like PageMaker,
a graphic can include:
Images (like .jpg, .png, .bmp)
Logos
Illustrations
Charts or graphs
Decorative elements
In PageMaker, graphics are usually imported into the layout (not drawn or
edited directly like in Photoshop or Illustrator). You place them to enhance your
page design.
