Case Based Critical ThinkingMark's team is working on a series of children's books, which involves the creation of many complex illustrations. Mark knows that this project will be a major challenge for his team in the use of patterns.

Four pages in the book call for a polka-dot illustration in the background. The client says that, for the time being, all four pages will use the same polka-dot illustration but the size of the dots or the spacing of the dots could change. A designer creates a polka-dot illustration using the Move dialog box and tells Mark that he will use that illustration on all four pages. Mark tells him that it's a better idea to recreate the polka dot illustration as a pattern. What is Mark's reasoning for creating the polka dots as a pattern?

What will be an ideal response?

Modification. Mark knows ahead of time that the polka dot pattern might change from page to page. It would be easier to modify the polka dots' size and spacing if they were built as a pattern than it would be to recreate the pattern again and again with the Move dialog box.
