Corel tutor??

can you hand paint signs?
Do you have a sign shop?
What other sign software do you have?

 

They way I learned Corel was buying a book at our local Borders and did all the tutorials. It took a little while but I really did learn a lot. Also just trying jump into it, I know it takes a bit of practice but you will get the hang of it.

 

sent ya a PM about lynda.com (its free, in case the merchants get mad at me)
best of luck to ya!

 

Griff there is a search feature at the top of all forum pages, and if you type in Corel Tutorials you should find some great links.

 

Alex Galvez

I also purchased a book on CorelDraw when I started and it was very helpful but once someone told me about the video tutorials that Alex Galvez posted on U-Tube my learning really got kicked into high gear.

I am not sure how many of his tutorials are still posted on U-Tube because a number of people who wrote books and offered their own tutorials for sale were not very happy with him offering his tutorials for Free on the internet.

He now posts many of his tutorials only on a CorelDraw sponcered site and some are free and some will cost you.

This guy is one of the best teachers and it was so cool to be able to open my screen to half size and then open his tutorials to half size and just follow along with everything he was teaching you and if you did not understand it the first time just replay the tutorial again.

Another person who got charged too much so decided to do it himself.
People like this are ruining the sign/vinyl industry. IMO you should be
kicked off here!

BTW, Corel is NOT a vinyl cutting program, it is a design program!
You still need to go through a plug in or such to cut, thus it is NOT a true vinyl
cutting program, NOW GET LOST!

 

See post #3
There seemed to be a lot of people thinking you should be kicked out when you got here too.

 

Mosh you may as well get use to it. Even if non professionals don't happen to find this site, there will always be a constant influx of people trying to get in this business, with or without our help. There's no stopping it. It's technologies fault for making it so easy, hell Staples even sells a button now.

 

really?? really?? not feelin' this is a bit of an over reaction??

'sides, he already said he has cut software...guess you didn't read that part....

 

I think Mosh's point is that he isn't a professional sign shop and is looking for a way to save money by doing it himself instead of paying a professional shop. Mosh just has a way of coming across hostile at times, when he's off his meds.

I could care less myself about anyone entering the business. Nothing will stop someone who is determined and if you feel that threatened by beginners, then you better step up your game. This industry has no protection and it's a free country still.

 

Actually, You can cut right out of Corel without a plugin. You have been able to do it for quite some time now.

 

Hi,

Try Foster Coburn's ebook:

It is VERY high quality. I know Alex Galvez tries hard, and he IS a good teacher, but a great many of his techniques are slow and convoluted. Free is often worth everything you paid for it...

http://coreldrawtips.com/site/coreldraw-tutorials try this website there are lot of good tutorials. They are not for CorelDraw X5 but everything should be similar.

 

So mosh doesnt own any tools to do mechanical or plumbing or electrical work he always hires people to do odd jobs around the house DOUBT IT!!!
so why cant this guy buy his own equipment and do his own stuff....Your the professional and people will come to you rather than him ........
You have to start somewhere and cheap is the way to go at first then he might grow and own a shop and do it full time who knows
just my 2 cents

Griff , best is to just teach yourself with the help off people here as well as tutorial video's. Also do a search here. Some great tips. Good luck and welcome here.
