![]() ![]() Being able to use the best features of both applications gives me more creative freedom. Both applications have their own strengths, weaknesses, bugs and handy unique features not found in their rival application. I've been using both CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator together in sign work for nearly 20 years. I've retrained a handful of Illustrator users over the years and not one that I know of has ever switched back to Illustrator after gaining proficiency in CorelDraw. There are a few like member Wafels that have seen the light though. Or how about various shapes set to the background colour that are dropped here and there to cover up something that shouldn't be there in the first place. A very real problem when the artwork is done at a smaller scale and needs to be scaled up for production purposes and all because of the limited art board size in Illustrator. It means I have my work cut out for me! Far too many of the "young creAtives" assume that a sign shop will be outputting their artwork on a web offset printer and provide their artwork in the CMYK colour space or worse yet, some obscure Pantone colour in various percentages to give it a "pastel" feel.Īnd don't get me started on outlines that are nothing more than a line weight (not set to scale with the image/artwork) instead of a proper contour (or "offset" in Illy parlance). ![]() I just cringe every time I receive one of those "young creAtives" production ready files. ![]() Direct print/cut to printers and plotters.ģ vector smoothing tools. There are three things that illustrator is missing to make it the program of choice for sign makers/designers.Ģ. If you want to compare illustrator and corel draw each program basically does the same thing but have minor advantageĪnd disadvantages. I learned computer graphics/ design on photoshop and Illustrator which work very well together and I'm comfortable with. Its also about what program you are proficient in and what program fits your needs. But most young creAtives today are leaning photoshop, illustrator, and other creative suite programs. I would imagine if I was born in the 70's I would be a Corel user. It's very much a generational thing as far what program you feel comfortable using. I don't currently own/use that plugin because most of jobs/ drawings I make don't require a lot of measurement call outs (just basic substrate sizes and letter sizes). "We have underway a thorough investigation to understand this issue." Edward Stone, director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "Our inability to recognize and correct this simple error has had major implications," said Dr. This information was critical to the maneuvers required to place the spacecraft in the proper Mars orbit. The peer review preliminary findings indicate that one team used English units (e.g., inches, feet and pounds) while the other used metric units for a key spacecraft operation. "The problem here was not the error, it was the failure of NASA's systems engineering, and the checks and balances in our processes to detect the error. Edward Weiler, NASA's Associate Administrator for Space Science. MARS CLIMATE ORBITER TEAM FINDS LIKELY CAUSE OF LOSSĪ failure to recognize and correct an error in a transfer of information between the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft team in Colorado and the mission navigation team in California led to the loss of the spacecraft last week, preliminary findings by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory internal peer review indicate. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work this way: Switch your ruler units to metric and then it will be really easy to work at 1/10th scale. ![]()
