Any Suggestions on learning CorelDraw... Fast? 3

[graphicgirl]

Hi everyone!
I'm new to the CorelDraw Forum, I have used Adobe Photoshop and some vector based graphic programs, but I have no experience with CorelDraw. I just recently bought Version 11 and need to learn the program fairly quickly, any suggestions of websites with tuitorials or books?
Thanks in advance!

Well I think you've found one of the best websites already. I'd definitely suggest reading through this forum and seeing issues other folks have been having in order to learn some things.

What has worked best for me to learn any application is just to USE IT. But not blindly, you gotta have a project in mind. Then, when you run into a specific "i need to be able do THIS, and I can't figure out how" just post your need here and someone will certainly be able to explain it to you.

Good luck...

I work for a business where I have to use corel a lot and like you I had to start off with no knowledge what so ever... they way I found easiest is to start with the tutorials that come with Corel. you should be able to get through them in a day or so. Then as CorelDrawQueen said you should just keep mucking around with the software either designing logos or creating images... whatever tickles your fancy

Good Luck with it all
