CorelDRAW is an industry acclaimed graphic design tool used for the creation and editing

of two dimensional drawings and graphics.

Vector graphics are digital art that is rendered by a computer using a mathematical formula.

Raster images are made up of tiny pixels, making them resolution dependent and best
used for creating photos

Examples of vector graphic formats are PICT, EPS, and WMF as well as PostScript and
TrueType fonts.

Popular types of raster les include JPEG, PNG, and GIF images.
(Encapsulated PostScript) A PostScript le format used to transfer a graphic image between
applications and platforms. EPS les contain PostScript code as ...
In computer graphics, pixelation or pixellation is caused by displaying a bitmap or a section
of a bitmap at such a large size that individual pixels, small single-colored square display
elements that comprise the bitmap, are visible. Such an image is said to be pixelated

Bleed is a term that refers to printing that extends off the edge(s) of a printed piece. Any
printed elements — photos, color blocks, text — that bleed must extend 0.125” beyond the
trimmed edge of the piece.

Crop marks, also known as trim marks, are lines printed in the corners of your publication's
sheet or sheets of paper to show the printer where to trim the paper. They are used by
commercial printers for creating bleeds where an image or color on the page needs to
extend all the way to the edge of the paper

Resolution indicates the number of pixels that are displayed per inch for an image (or pixels
per centimeter).

Resolution is Measured in Horizontal x Vertical Pixels


By this measurement, the number of dots per line can be multiplied by the number of lines
to identify the total number of pixels displayed by the monitor. Using the examples above,
a 1600 x1 200 monitor would display 1,920,000 individual pixels.

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible,
readable and appealing when displayed.
RGB color mixing is the primary color mode for digital designs (like web, TV or phone les)
while the CMYK mode is used for printed designs (like T-shirts, yers or business cards).
