Who uses CorelDraw software?

Design professionals in the advertising and printing industries spend much of their time
creating and editing graphics, working with text, and retouching photos. These users
frequently work on layout and design projects, such as creating logos and multipage
brochures. These production oriented professionals spend most of their time repurposing
and combining content, such as graphic designs, scanned logs, clipart images, and fonts.
They pay particular attention to output preparation and optimization of designs and that
why they use CorelDraw software.

Creative professionals focus primarily on graphic design for print and for the Web. In
addition to its intuitive page-layout and design tools, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite gives them
market-leading compatibility with commonly used file formats. The suite also provides
several features developed specifically for creating Web graphics, such as the new Pixels
view, support for hex color values, and more.

Occasional Business users like entrepreneurs are often interested in creating marketing
materials in-house. Self-taught in graphic arts, they spend most of their time modifying
existing designs for reuse, retouching photos and creating ads, flyers, and other marketing
collateral. Business users in medium to large enterprises also vale this comprehensive
graphics suite, which enables them to work with more than 100 file formats and create
professional, graphically rich projects — from sales presentations to Web graphics.

Teachers and students at school or at home are looking for creative ways to deliver projects
and reports. They use CorelDRAW for school projects and activities, to create special event
calendars and training courseware, and to publish newsletters.

Hobbyists use graphic design software occasionally to create projects — such as

newsletters, calendars, banners, and photo layouts — for personal or community use. With
an extensive collection of learning tools, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite makes it easy to create
impressive results without professional training.
