We have been using Corel Draw for many years, both for graphics, things like our business cards, and our online presentations, and as architects, we do many design proposals, using Corel Draw to finish and embellish Autocad Drawings for clients. Corel Draw is a perfect suite of instruments for graphic design which can use both images and vectorial drawing.

Other than for company-related work like creating diagrams, image buttons for our customers, Barcodes, and others, I also use CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to create logos, banners, and other stuff for our business. It is easy to use and has a very accessible User interface. The way palettes and tools are accessed makes it simple enough for all ages. No need to learn any special commands. Everything is straightforward.

It is an excellent tool, all the vector sketches and marketing structures of our ads are made in CorelDRAW. We use it a lot to manufacture icons and logos of our product brands and user manuals for our sales team. Really an efficient tool, we make our templates to do the manuals in many products!

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite has been part of my design tool box for many years. I have used it in fields including engraving, product demand development, signage, and even a catalog for the company I work for. It works for more than just drawings--I have developed pamphlets, forms, certificates, business cards, signs, and elevator buttons.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is being used as a design resource in pockets across the business. We use it in tandem with other products to produce print materials, design ideas and sketch concepts. Corel helps us work quickly to get ideas sketched so that we can fine tune concepts and ideas and deliver both work internally and externally to clients as well.

Working for a non-profit, we needed a graphic software solution that fit our budget but still had the power to do all that I needed it to do. I am a department of one - and rely heavily on the CorelDraw Graphics Suite to do my job daily - both in my day job AND in my part time job for another non-profit. I use this software for everything from presentation graphics, to the design of flyers, brochures, posters, t-shirts, and more.

We use CorelDraw to create art, as well as manufacturing renderings/plans for indoor and outdoor signage. It is used by our Graphic Design team on the front/sales end of a project and by our Project Management team on the back/manufacturing end of a project. On the artistic side, our Graphic Design Team incorporates customer PMS Pantone colors, architectural features, and new design elements to generate a rendering for the customer that would give them a realistic idea of what their sign could look like. Project Management uses dimension tools and 2D design elements to show our fabrication team exactly what would need to be manufactured.

We use CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to edit images and help design departmental letterheads, backgrounds, and logos. It is only used by myself, but at times I use it for work for all departments in the organization. It allows us to create edit and images with higher quality than that allowed using tools included with Windows.

I have used CorelDRAW Graphics Suite extensively for at least 25 years to create catalog pages, edit photos, open and edit AutoCAD files, and so much more. There is not another package on the market that offers such complete capabilities. There are other products that excel in one or two specific areas, but CorelDRAW can do it all.

It's used mainly by our Design department to develop new graphics for print, serigraphy, and engraving on new parts for home appliances. It is also used indirectly by outsourcing companies that work with us on designing new labels and packaging artworks. It does pretty well in these functions as a solution for new developments.

The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is the major tool in our arsenal here at Fluid. Corel is used in many aspects of our workflow from content generation to prepress and final execution of deliverables in the form of design, marketing materials, social media imagery, packaging, and printing. The graphics suite apps address all our needs from design to production with seamless integration of raster and vector workflows and a robust list of features and tools that allow us to concentrate on any task at hand with ease. The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite has it all.

CorelDRAW is currently used for creating graphics for use in InDesign, Photoshop, and for creating other graphic file formats directly used in the production of advertising, signage, and other specialty and print projects.

We use CorelDRAW Graphics Suite within our department mainly in order to produce figures for papers and publications. We often have to adapt figures from other papers to our needs, digitize old poor-quality figures or make our own from scratch.

In general, it has allowed me and the design team to represent various products with excellent quality. The new releases are incredibly time-saving because of the multi threading and it counts when you have a tight schedule doing projects for clients. Overall, great performance/feature improvements for marketers. Good tool for page layout and logo creation.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is not my top choice for a graphics program, however, it has certainly improved from years before. It is really nice for creating mockups for future product designs, but the graphics are somewhat flat or better for clean vector art as opposed to high detailed photographic quality artwork or graphics.

We use CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to create graphics files for our custom engraving business. Our entire organization uses CorelDRAW because the files work best with the brand of laser engraver we use. We bring bitmap files into the layout and also use the text, font, and vector graphics files to create the final product for our customers.
