Discover the power of two applications for the price of one on this Corel Graphics Suite Introductory course. CorelDraw and Corel Photo-Paint are both shipped as part of the Corel Graphics Suite, so you can double the impact of your creative graphics. Learn how to apply stunning effects to photos and other bitmaps in Paint, and then combine them with the amazing visual effects available in Draw.
During this two-day course you will be introduced to the basics of both these powerful applications. Designed for people who need to create documents for output in multiple formats – such as for print as well as the web – this course will explain the difference between the two applications in language you can understand, and help you to identify when to use each for maximum impact.
During the course you will use the software to work through a series of exercises that are designed to progressively build skills. No previous knowledge of either programme is assumed.
At the end of the course, delegates should feel confident about using CorelDraw and Photo-Paint to produce a range of documents and graphics, such as newsletters, flyers, brochures, banners and posters containing a combination of simple graphics & effects created using the CorelDraw & Photo-Paint tools, and imported clipart and photographic images.
