I've been offered a job to work with a printer but the boss wants me to use Corel Draw when I've only ever used the Adobe Suite. Is there much of a learning curve if you know Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign? Is it easy to transfer projects from one to the other?
>>272371
The layout is the biggest learning curve and it supports Ai files. Not a bad program really.
>>272371
Personally i haven't used corel for a couple of years now, most recent version i remember was X5.
Currently only using CC suite and as with everything else - it has its own pros and cons.
Biggest pro for corel is its ability to work in full scale with, I believe unlimited artboard size which comes in handy when industry you're working for is a large format printing and applications. It did however had some issues with using profiles and colours in general. Gradients and raster effects were pretty bad as well.
If you got used to AI you will find incredibly irritating to work with paths, clipping masks and the worst of all layers as the layer manager is ridiculous and clipping masks works in completely fucked up way.
Also forget about importing AIs to Corel and CDRs to AI as currently there are not compatible at all as far as I'm aware. Way round it is to work of PDF's but corel saves them in messed way it only holds it appearance but its not editable in AI and vice versa.
Paths, anchors and curves work differently as by default corel uses equal bezier somewhat familiar to Photoshop but again - different to AI so some time will take to adjust to new key shortcuts.
I used x4 at work and it sucks. When the program crashed it made the last save corrupt and i had to constantly zoom in and out to see my picture properly. It was ridiculously buggy and horribly designed.

Hey content aside, anyone know what font this is?
![impact-label-screenshots-1[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/3fUm92e.png "impact-label-screenshots-1[1].png")
Impact Label. Why you would want to use it is beyond me, because it's quite the eyesore.
>>273160
Ya I know it's ugly but it's iconic at this point and I wanted to know what it is called.
>>273188
This font is great for a new tech poster. Check some from the 90's festivals, nirvanna, pearl jam, grunge in general.

I applied for two universities. The first is a one year course that skips straight to the final year project. I was told during the interview that I was lacking the fundamental skills and I might not be able to cope but a few weeks later, I found out that I got accepted.
The other that I really wanted get into is a standard three years course but I got sent a rejection letter one day after the interview. I'm not sure what I should do now. Should I just wing it and go into the one year course and do lots of self-study and hope to graduate from the course with no...

How the fuck is this real, you can't learn graphic design from scratch in a year.
>>273123
Why not
>>273127
You don't have time to accumulate and process all the information about graphic design at a professional level in a year. It's just dumb, either the class is very basic or very rushed.
Do you guys have any tips on how to reproduce this opening title ? I suppose it is a custom made font, i was wondering about the effects on the borders of the lettering. Thank you guys in advance
>>273065
>the effects on the borders of the lettering
You mean... blur ?
OP here,
I was wondering about the edges, they aren't straight and I was wondering how to do it since I was planning to re-do the lettering with shapes. The font is Block Berthold Condensed if anyone was wondering. All i needed to do was slightly blur it.
>>273065
On a side note, thats an awesome book. Love it.

Hey. Can someone more talented then me help with a tattoo design? I've been wanting to get a 3/4 sleeve either in American traditional, neotraditional, or old school design. If anyone can help that'd be awesome.
Something similar to this but more suited for a guy
Or similar to this but again more suitable for a guy.

Why are you on a graphic design board?
This is something your tattoo artist have to do. Find a good artist in your area, write them a mail and they'll help you. Look into the working ethics of tattooing before getting a tattoo.
>>272789
get a tattoo artist to design your tattoos, thats what they do
