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.
