Need a Graphics Suite?
I would like for anyone who has not purchased a graphics suite or even just a paint program to consider CorelDraw Graphics Suite. The value is exceptional. You get several professional level graphics programs, CorelDraw, Photopaint, and a few others. Additionally, they include several thousand fonts, Clipart, and more. You will not get anything near that for the price.
I would not even look for the latest and greatest version. I would buy the last ‘even-numbered’ release not the current version. If you can find it, it will cost (usually) under 100 dollars. To by the same package from Adobe (including fonts, clipart, etc.) would run the better part of a grand if you found a deal.
I am not a ‘presenter’ but from what I understand the CorelDraw Graphics suite is the perfect companion for PowerPoint. Rick Altman has for years taught PowerPoint workshops all across the US (probably elsewhere). One of the things he has promoted is the synergy of using CorelDraw with PowerPoint.
Now, all that said, CorelDraw and PhotoPaint, not to mention CorelRave (flash animations) are professional tools. They will have a steep learning curve. They are full strength, you will need to read the manuals, use the tutorials, go online and see how others used the program to get the result you need. ‘Course you do all that anyway – right!?
