Overview

Start creating professional graphic design in CorelDRAW.

If you're looking for a software that is user-friendly and you can easily create logos, business cards or flyers, Corel Draw is the best answer. CorelDRAW is used by professionals across the world for every promotional material, such as posters, roll-up banners, business cards, brochures or logos.

Create graphics the way you want them.

Practice while you learn. This course includes practices files so you can follow along and actually learn by doing.

By the end of this course, you will have created your own business card.

I'll be teaching this course using CorelDRAW 2018, but if you have a previous version (X8, X7, X6, X5, X4 or X3) you can still learn like a pro.

What makes me qualified to teach you?

My name is Radu and I've been working in CorelDRAW since 2003. Further more I'm teaching CorelDRAW in LIVE class-sessions since 2011 and have done so to over 1700 students.

I would guide anyone to do this course, especially with this teacher.  Catalin Palade, Course Graduate

Well-structured and full of useful information. Cristian Vasilescu, Course Graduate

The best and most practical course I have ever attended. Iulia Adamache, Course Graduate

I needed a CorelDRAW course for my business, we intend to save money making the design of the flyers alone. I chose Radu's course, and it was the best investment I've ever made in my life. Sabina Stroescu, Course Graduate

We're in this together!

I'm a full-time graphic designer, trainer and online instructor. I'll be here for you every step of the way. If you have any questions about the course content or anything related to this topic, you can always post a question in the course or send me a direct message.
