Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By combining all components into a single layer for simplicity

By avoiding layers and working with a single design file

By using a single layer for the entire design without considering component separation

By using layers to separate different components of the shoe (e.g., upper, sole, lining) for better organization and clarity

Question 2: What is the significance of sustainability in current footwear trends, and how should a designer incorporate eco-friendly elements?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Sustainability complicates the design process and should be minimized

Sustainability is irrelevant, as consumers are more focused on design and luxury

Question 3: How does importing and exporting CAD files facilitate collaboration with manufacturers and other stakeholders?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Importing and exporting CAD files is unnecessary, as the designer can communicate with manufacturers directly

Importing and exporting CAD files only applies to large-scale productions, not custom designs

Importing and exporting CAD files complicates communication and should be avoided

Importing and exporting CAD files ensures seamless communication with manufacturers, enabling them to work with accurate design specifications

Question 4: How does ergonomics influence the comfort and functionality of footwear, particularly for clients with special needs?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ergonomics only applies to athletic shoes, not fashion footwear

Question 5: How do you predict seasonal color and material trends for footwear, and how do you integrate them into your designs?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using standard materials year-round, ignoring seasonal trends

By following popular color trends without analyzing consumer behavior

By analyzing Pantone forecasts, material innovations, and seasonal consumer preferences to choose colors and materials

By choosing colors based on personal preferences without considering market trends

Question 6: How can innovative closures (e.g., zippers, Velcro, buckles) affect the functionality and aesthetics of footwear?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Innovative closures limit the aesthetic appeal and should be avoided

Innovative closures enhance both functionality and aesthetics by providing better fit, ease of use, and design flexibility

Innovative closures are unnecessary and complicate the shoe's design

Innovative closures should only be used for sports or functional footwear
