Thread: Coreldraw tutorial questionnaire...

  1. #1

    Default Coreldraw tutorial questionnaire...

    I posted a little tutorial a week or so back about digitising logos in Coreldraw and a few of you downloaded it.

    I have redone the cover sheet on it to add the (C)... I had forgotten it on the first (although it is copyrighted)... and also moved the video quality down a little bit to get the file size down from 160 mb to about 30 mb.

    If a few of you want to download it again, let me know and I'll get you the link for it. I'm still working on the server bandwidth situation, so for right now, just send me a private message or let me know here and I'll let you know the address...

    In return, I ask that you post what you think so I can have some feedback for several more that I'm working on.

    A few have told me I worked too fast in this first one, so I'm actually in the process of redoing it just a little slower, with more explanation and making sure everyone can see all the clicks...

    A few of the things I'd like to know:

    Was the video helpful in explaining the process?
    What did you think about the speed, was it too fast?
    Would you be interested in some more tutorials, showing how to do certain projects, etc?

    Thanks, all.

    I'm new to this forum and new to the CarveWright, ( even though I've had the machine since September), just now have the time to use it. Anyway I am interested in the tutorial you have put together, As a rooky to both Corel Draw and the CarveWright. I think that I could give you some usefull honest feedback.

    Not sure exactly where you want the feed back. I posted one on the other thread, but want to make sure you get my 2 cents LOL

    It was extremely helpful in explaining the process. Not sure it I could go to Corel right this minute if I had it and do it without a watch and turn around and try it and then watch some more.... but thats my problem, not yours.

    It was fast, but having it on the computer I could go back and watch it again and again, so I don't consider that a weak point although I might like it a little slower.

    Yes, would like to see more tutorials and wouldn't mind if some of them were with the Designer software also, but would like to see various projects such as processing photos for carving, and other technique related task that others have accopmplished. It is really a great learning tool to be able to download the mpc files, just to see the various techniques that I might not otherwise have thought of.

    I will try to think of some other techniques that I have seen that were unclear to me by looking at them.

    Thanks for you fantastic work and dedication to the forum

    P.S. Had trouble loading Corel 6 on Windows XP (stalled at registering fonts), so I have been hitting it hard on ebay to try to get the latest version. May even pay for part of my Compucarve with the proceeds

    Thanks Rgant..

    That's exactly what I was looking for.... thanks for the kind words.

    I'm using a trial version of the video software, and I was going to go ahead and buy the program to keep doing a few if there was interest.

    Thanks,

    Jon

    Jon, HAving never used Corel Draw...Only Adobe Photoshop and Panit Shop Pro 7...Will this tutorial help me a bit thru the learning process of Corel Draw 11. I have that version and Illustrator 10 on my system and at some point planned to take an online class for Corel Draw. I have done that with Paint Shop Pro several years ago and it did help a lot with understanding the software...I'm asking because I'm on dial-up. I would like to download your tutorial but want to know ahead of tiem if this will help me learn the software itself or is it just based towards using it with designer? I can do the download during the night and get it all...hopefully with out a gllitch. Let me know please...one way or another and the link if it will be useful to me in my learning process.
    Thanks,
    Lin

    Default Video Feedback

    Jon,

    I couldn't get it to run at first then I looked and I had not un zipped it yet. That did the trick. In a quick overview "VERY NICE" !!!! I need to watch it again and again and study the steps.

    I am still learning Corel Draw 12 for my Sublimation and Laser Engraving Business and this is just what I need to get up to speed on what to do when I get my machine.

    Yes, it was very quick, but the audio and detail is very good. I have a few CD's and books on learning Corel Draw and they say things slow and in great detail. They say things like, "I am going to click here to make my outline yellow so it's easier to see". "You can do this by...... and what you see here is your work place in Corel Draw." "I am going to open a file and import a Bit Map to work on, this is how I do it." "Selecting this_____ gives you access to your files, notice that it is labeled as a .bmp which tells you it is a Bit Map"

    You have made a VERY NICE presentation, and WE all thank you for doing this for us and hope for more videos. Back in 95, I made a how to, VCR video, on how to use eBay for some friends. So I have some idea what you are facing. I did it on a WEBTV..... Wow that's old... Worked for Sony at the time so it was cheap......

    In making other videos, the best feedback I can give you is to do it like you are teaching a 3rd grader... When it comes to teaching the software steps explain everything. In the back of your mind picture me with my hand up in class asking "WHY" to everything and anticipate questions. I am sure most 3rd graders could teach entry level computer classes now. I have the benefit of having been a Electronics Instructor in my Navy days. The advice we received in Instructor School was to teach the topic with the slowest student in mind. It lets the more experienced users just click off the steps in there brain as you do it and the slower students see all the logical steps to doing something in chronological order.

    I would like to add my name to your distribution list please. Topics I am also interested in is making signs from scratch to finish. Also interested in the manipulating the text and the drilling function. I would like to be able to drill holes in the bottom of a V Carve letter to provide a place for lights.

    Thanks again for your effort. AL
