![]() ![]() CorelDraw also has a loyal following from when it dominated the vector-graphics market tied to print drivers and machine software compatibility even though Adobe currently has cornered a bigger share of the market.īoth software brands offer trial versions. Adobe Photoshop has always been more popular than Corel’s Photo-Paint for manipulating raster graphics. However with a monthly fee and a pc version of Adobe Illustrator that is minimized. Many garments printers prefer CorelDraw over Adobe Illustrator because of cost of software and computers. The only down fall is Corel no longer supports Mac computers. This can make designing multiple versions of a design easier. I like how Corel supports 3 rd party plugins. CorelDraw seems to handle font manipulation better than Illustrator. Its latest suite also includes more file formats and better color control than previous versions. IN my opinion, the tools, user interface and color management (especially color blends) seem easier and friendly in Illustrator.Ĭorel X6 suite accommodates the professional market as well and offers tutorials, tips, and templates for amateurs. My only wish is Illustrator would partner with 3 rd party developers to add productivity plugins.

It’s usually “the first thing” you learn, (I learned Illustrator first, so always feel at home with Illustrator).It is very hard to change “Brand Loyalty”.Use of either depends on your requirements, features, nature of art work, required look and feel.Neither emerges as the absolute market winner.Let’s start by looking at some universal truths Many designers and illustrators ask about the difference between both of these software’s. It was the first Graphics Suite with combined vector graphics software, and the Photo Paint program, font manager, and other common features found in all of the versions. The first version was initially released in 1989. The latest version is AI CC.Ĭorel Draw was developed by the Corel Corporation in Ottawa, Canada, in 1987. Later in 1988, the second version, called Illustrator 88, was released and introduced with many new tools and features. These software’s are mainly created to deliver fast results, and meet the demands of design professionals and graphic artists.Īdobe Illustrator was created by Adobe Systems, way back in 1986, as a Font Development Software and Postscript file format. This month’s discussion is Īdobe Illustrator and Corel Draw are both vector-based illustration software used for graphics designing. Just accept that the final result will look much better once printed, and be easier to scale to size later if you want it bigger or smaller.Welcome To Cora’s Corner, where every month I am going to help you with your artwork issues.

I would advise to use what you have, or whichever you feel most comfortable using. Macromedia Freehand would also do the job. Although I haven't used Corel I imagine it would be just as capable as any other modern vector graphics package. That doesn't mean that other software is no good or won't work. Most of the logos and other imagery you see around was probably done using it. As an ex-professional designer, I'll say that Illustrator is pretty much the industry standard for creation of graphic designs. ![]()
