Experience of flat packaging design experience

1.1 Photoshop

For designing, I didn't know her! As the core image processing software in the computer art world, it is not an exaggeration that I say. Her complete modules, powerful functions, and friendly interface can not be impressed.

Photoshop was born in the 80s of last century. Adobe developed it on the MAC and then ported it to a PC. (By the way, the color management of the PC system has become increasingly stable and complete. Although there is a certain gap with the MAC, it is If the requirements are not too high, we can't see much difference. Now Adobe is developing the PC version first, and then the MAC version, which may be the reason for PC market share. One of the words Birth has led to a revolution in the image publishing industry. She is longer than image processing and compositing, powerful reflection mirror, can make your creation turn into a magical moment. Whether she uses it for image processing or original creation, she won't disappoint you. More and more artists and designers use her as her “stop-up” to create countless countless uses. The amazing work. Although there are many rising stars, such as Painter, Photostyller, PhotoPainter and other software challenges her, but its "dominant" status has not shaken
The highest version of Photoshop is currently 7.0. As a packaging designer, we must master her skillfully.

1.2 Corel DRAW

Corel DRAW can be said to be a one-hundred-thousand-one-manager and is a heavyweight product with Photoshop. As a veteran graphic master, she has become a representative of graphic processing.

CorelDRAW itself is a set of multiple software as a package software, graphics processing is her masterpiece, but this does not mean that she does not have the ability to image processing, in fact, CorelDRAW in image processing, a lot of features, let Photoshop are stunned. Many Photoshop effects rely on plug-ins, and CorelDRAW can be instantized with just one stroke.

Since CorelDRAW is a graphics processing software that uses geometrical algorithms to record visual color information, there are few files, and processing speed is fast. Infinite magnification does not appear to be a non-rich drawing tool and graphics tool of CorelDRAW. It can make you easily and quickly. Achieve the effect you want. From graphic processing, text processing, vector graphics to bitmaps, bitmaps to vector graphics, graphics and text, desktop publishing, Web publishing CorelDRAW provides the perfect solution. The built-in “BarCode” has 18 standard barcodes built in. Just by pressing the menu Edit→Insert Bar Code, you can achieve the results of professional barcode software in one step. For packaging, However, it is extremely convenient!

The works created by CorelDRAW consist of objets (objects) with different shapes and colors, and they can be changed in their position, size, color, and order. Due to the flexibility and freedom of its interface and operation, it has been greatly favored by graphic designers. At the same time, CorelDRAW also provides a powerful color management system for the color center, which is used for scanning, displaying and outputting three links, obtaining consistent and reliable results, and can be correctly transferred from one device to another.

CorelDRAW is currently the best version is 11, starting from 11, she has a new title "corel DRAW 11 Graphic Suite (CorelDRAW graphics suite)" CorelDRAW, Corel RAVE (web animation design, can be directly out of the FLASH SWF file) CorelTRACE ( Vector graphics depict vectorized moments, Corel BARCODE VIZARD, Corel PHOTOPAINTER (just like photoshop, can process images). Its unparalleled and powerful, fantastic combination makes corel users happy?

1.3 Illustrator and FreeHand

Illustrator is the same as FreeHand and CorelDRAW. It is a vector software. Illustrotor is a product of Adobe. FreeHand is a product of Macromedia. The highest version is 10.0.
Since Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop are the same products of Adobe, so many of them are just like Photoshop. If you are using photoshop, then learning Illustrator will be very fast, and Photoshop can directly open the Illustrator file. When Illustrator is doing the packaging, The corner line is very convenient. If you use it with photoshop, I believe it will make your creation more exciting (though I still like CorelDRAW, Illustrator and FreeHand will be used for drawing and sampling).
FreeHand is also easy to use in terms of operation. It is perfect both in publishing and publishing. It is also a strong point in document processing. However, there is no advantage in image processing. It is worth noting that the lines drawn by FreeHand will become thinner with the size of the screen. If you use it for design, check the lines before output. Beyond the range of extremely thin lines, the display and printing of lines will not be a problem. When the output is proofed, there will be disconnection, dark colors, and even printing failures.

Illustrator is inferior to CorelDRAW and FreeHnad when it comes to text processing and multi-page imposition. Many people say that FreeHnad can go hand-in-hand with professional word processing software in word processing. I think CorelDRAW is not inferior to this, and the first character sinks. Line indentation, character spacing, line spacing, different language spacing, after the paragraph before the paragraph, the subscript and label, tabs, extended path emissions, placed in the graphics, text around the map, so you do whatever you want, nothing is not, nothing Desire. In multi-page processing, FreeHand is better than CorelDRAW, and the pages are free to move, just like you draw a lot of pictures, throw them at random.
