It may sound rather obnoxious, when I say you could find The Perfect Thing packaged in a $599 box. Ironically, I have found one called CorelDraw Graphics Suit. To many, its just a piece of software which they tend to use as a result of the ordeals caused by other, older and technically less efficient ones. But, for me its a tool that can make you wildest imaginations, come to life.
I was formally introduced to the version 12 of the software, 5 years from today. Back then it seemed rather complicated and confusing as it took me hours to merely create a circle, color it and add some minor effects. I was rather occasional with using the software, but as and when the features kept getting better with every rise in its version, so did my interest in it. Come X5 and I, was simply overwhelmed with CorelDraw Graphics Suit. All of my creativity, that I had ever imagined on paper, was now staring right at me on my laptop screen. Infact, I could do more than ever imagined. Contours, glow, shadows, perspective, transparency, blends etc., all seemed like an alien scripture to me, few years back. Today I can't simply imagine my creativity without any of these features. Surprisingly, however every time I use CorelDraw, I tend to discover something new each time. That is the power of this software. There is a tough competition out there, given the existence of other, similar powerful tools like Adobe Illustrator etc, but somehow I tend to have an inclination towards CorelDraw. Well that is my opinion so to speak.
Like dealing with any other software, I have faced problems with it, raised a brow over unusual occurrences and shared a moment of delight on being able to get things solved for me. Given all that I have learnt and still continue to imbibe about CorelDraw, I feel like sharing my experiences with all of you and what better way than to blog about it. I look forward to all your precious comments, feedback, queries and suggestions.
Happy Corel-ing :D
