How do you use CorelDRAW???
March 21st, 2009 Val
I started using CorelDRAW for simple illustration because it was just as easy to use for the amateur (me) as the professional, and was easier on the budget than the alternatives available at the time. (I started with version 3.0) I’ve
continued using it because I haven’t found anything better out there for
all the different kinds of things I use it for. Vector and text
manipulation are both easily accomplished and I can switch back and
forth between projects designed for the web and projects designed for
home printers or professional printers without having to change
programs.
Since I’ve been teaching CorelDRAW, my students use CorelDRAW for a wide diversity of business applications including signs, embroidery, quilting, jewelry
design, advertising, web design, logo design, and fine arts and crafts
of all sorts. Others have been hobbyists using it to build ship models,
label home brew bottles, and create school and charity event posters.
I’ve had all ages from teens to retirees who enjoyed using the program.
I can’t think of anything outside of an office suite that has more to
offer to more kinds of people.
Who would think that something called CorelDRAW (honestly, who pays attention to the Graphics Suite part on the box and what does that mean to consumers anyway?) would be good for producing newsletters, name tags business cards and birthday cards, doing photo retouching, or managing the thousands of fonts folks end up with these days? Amateurs pay lots of money to buy the competing products because they just don’t know that CDGS can do the same sorts of things only better and often cheaper.
So I’m asking the question. What do YOU use CorelDRAW for?
Have fun!
