If you’re looking for a software that is user-friendly and you can easily create logos, business cards or flyers, Corel Draw is the best answer.

Create graphics the way you want them, practice while you learn. This course includes practice files so you can follow along and actually learn by doing. I’ll be teaching this course using CorelDRAW 2018, but if you have a previous version (X8, X7, X6, X5, X4 or X3) you can still learn like a pro.

In this beginner’s CorelDRAW graphic design course, you will not only learn how to create professional graphic design, but also how to set your mindset to reach out to your goals. This course will cover everything you need to know to to start working on your graphic design files, including:

  • Creating a document to start with
  • Creating shapes to be used in your layout
  • Combining shapes to create logos and graphical elements
  • Using custom color palettes
