Both are likely custom. The e's in the script are different. Joe may have started out as Avant Garde Bold

Try typing in Celtic at myfonts.com for inspiration. There are free ones at dafont

It is mostly based on how powerful your machine is and not the software. All of these special effects do nothing more than add complexity to the file

Ouch, so on a 16 foot long vehicle you have a 4-5 Gig file? That's what photoshop says for 300 dpi. Sounds like too much resolution for something viewed from far away. Most magazine images are around that resolution and you view from a few inches. Print ads are 300-400ppi

Maybe it is a Mac thing or you did not install it to begin with? When I click F1 or choose Help I get this screen (attached)

Drawing line: pen tool The help menu in CS3 looks like an entire manual, it does not go to the website. Maybe that is in an older version I have used Illustrator since the program first came out, so Corel is very foreign to me. When you use a program for a long time it becomes second nature...
