Corel Draw was the first of the Windows-based drawing programs and has built on this early start to become far-and-away the dominant drawing package on the PC. Its biggest strength - and its biggest potential limitation - is its all-encompassing approach.
The creation of design-intensive illustrations and the production of page-based publications are the two main categories. Creating the layout will build on these skills and involve setting up the page grid, managing imported text and graphics and preparing final output. Desktop publishing training may involve advanced software such as Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PageMaker, CorelDRAW, Corel Ventura, Macromedia Freehand. Students who have successfully completed their desktop publishing training, may gain profitable employment with companies such as book publishers, business card/greeting card publishers, calendar publishers, magazines and newspapers, and website design firms. Currently, one of the most popular fields of employment would be digital design and animation. Though earnings do vary.
