About this course
This course provides a complete understanding of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, from its basic interface to advanced creative design techniques. Students will begin by exploring the CorelDRAW workspace, learning how to create and manage vector graphics, shapes, outlines, objects, layers, and symbols. The course also covers essential concepts like color models, fills, transparencies, and managing palettes to develop professional-level graphic designs.
As the training progresses, learners will dive into special effects, text handling, templates, styles, and layout management. They will practice adding and formatting text, managing fonts, applying templates, creating and editing styles, and working with page layouts, grids, rulers, and tables. The course ensures learners gain strong design control by applying 3D effects, mosaics, color styles, and unique creative compositions, which are essential in branding, advertising, and digital marketing design.
In the advanced modules, students will gain hands-on experience with bitmaps, web graphics, and export settings. They will learn how to convert vectors to bitmaps, adjust images using color correction and filters, work with raw camera files, and prepare graphics for both print and digital platforms. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to design logos, posters, brochures, packaging, and web graphics, and will complete individual projects showcasing their skills in professional graphic designing.
