CorelDRAW or Illustrator

[Adhesive Labels]

Well,
You have to say that the reason you get more shit Corel files than
Illustrator
files is the way that Adobe and Macromedia (amongst others) have made
a point of making sure that their software packages are the leading packages
taught
in various schools of graphic arts around the world. Much in the same way
that Heidelberg printing presses have an over representation of their
equipment
in the varoius schools of printing. It's not a conspiracy theory, but a fact
that
what you learn with, and learn on is what you are likely to stay with, and
those
giants of the whole graphic arts industry know very well that teaching their
products
at a young age will ensure a lifetime of committment to them. Our local
school of graphic
arts (unofficially known as the Heidelberg school of printing) is Adobe,
Macromedia & Mac.
When the students their own buy software & computers what do think they are
going buy?

I think the programs have different focusses as I told in my posting. The Program that closes the lack, is something in between is the new Freehand
MX. It copied a lot of typical Corel functions, works with internet graphics
and can have more than one page. And it has similar Vectorgraphic possiblities
like Illustrator. But it can't interprete EPS-Files directly. When you need
that, go for Illustrator or Corel.Both appscan create beautiful things if the user is a) familiar with the program,
b)familiar with how to setup the files properly for the service bureau, and
c)has the skill/talent needed. Absolutely right. But to me it seems, more corel users THINK they have
skills and haven't it for real. So I get much more corel files that are shit.
Mostly, Illustrator users know more about publishing. But that does not say, that
you can't work professional with corel, I do! Moege der Inhalt wichtiger sein als die Form

Just a theory, but I think that since Illustrator is much harder to
learn--especially when it comes to creating art that goes to press--much of
the good quality stuff that comes in AI format is done by expert users, true
artists. In the case of CorelDraw, since the tools in CD are much easier to
use for the average person, many may have the illusion that their work is
"press ready," when, in actual fact, they really don't know anything about
critical issues like color and font management. I guess my point is that
many less-qualified users are able to use CD and think they are artists
because it is easier to use.

The above is why I think Corel should really concentrate on the business
graphics market. CD is easy to use, and the market is wide open. AI will
never fit into that market because the product is too difficult to use for
the average business publications group that has to "get something out in a
hurry."
