The CorelDRAW Wow! Book showcases some of the best work created in CorelDRAW for both print and the Web. A combination of eminently practical advice and creative new techniques developed by working professionals, the book features the work of dozens of renowned CorelDRAW artists and covers logo design, advertising, posters, architectural renderings, package design, technical illustration, Web page design, animation, and fine-art illustration.
Whatever your skill level, you'll find results-oriented advice that you can apply to your own projects. Using the highest-quality professional CorelDRAW art as examples, the book provides step-by-step instructions for using blends, transparency, type, layers, bitmap effects, and other CorelDRAW tools in versions 3 through 8. And since CorelDRAW 9 lets you load a CorelDRAW 8 workspace and retain access to version 9's new features, you'll find it easy to use this edition with CorelDRAW 9. The book comes with a CD full of demos, fonts, stock photos, Web utilities, and more.
