Of course, a lot can be looked up on the Internet today, but beginners usually do not know what is possible with a graphics program and therefore do not even come up with the idea of looking for it, here the book takes the reader by the hand and shows exercise for exercise the possibilities and drawing techniques.

After completing your studies, you can not only draw private birthday invitations, but also design professional applications, e.g., company logos or advertising posters, for the latter our Built-Up Volume is recommended as an addition.

We have three books on almost every version of CorelDRAW:

• A training book for the CorelDRAW graphics drawing program,
• a training book for the Corel Photo-Paint photo program included in the CorelDRAW Suite, and
• a Built-Up Volume for both with more sophisticated exercises and techniques.
