Tutorial: Working with layout
Welcome to CorelDRAW, a comprehensive vector-based drawing program for the graphics professional.

This tutorial introduces the layout and organization tools in CorelDRAW. These tools are essential for any kind of
project, whether it is an advertisement, newsletter, logo, poster, or any kind of artwork. Guided by your sense of
layout and design, you can use guidelines, preset alignments, and absolute values to organize text and images
for optimum results.

During the course of this tutorial, you will create an advertisement for The Coffee Shop. You will create some of
the design elements and text, but you will also learn how to import images and text.

Click here to view what your final project should look like.



What you will learn
In this tutorial, you will learn how to

§ create backgrounds
§ use guidelines and snapping options
§ create frames
§ import images
§ use the PowerClip tool
§ apply preset drop shadows
§ work with artistic text
§ import and format paragraph text
§ apply alignment options


Creating the background
You’ll start by opening a new document and customizing the drawing page dimensions. Then, you’ll create the
background: a gold colored rectangle with rounded corners. After you create the background, you’ll apply the rest
of the advertisement’s graphics and text.

In this project, you’ll use the default units of measure in CorelDRAW: inches. However, you can use many others,
including points, pixels, and centimeters.


To create a drawing page
1 Click File menu } New.
2 On the property bar, ensure the Portrait button              is enabled.

3 In the Paper size boxes                        on the property bar, type the following dimensions:
   Ÿ Width: 7
   Ÿ Height: 10
4 Press Enter.

effects to the text. Paragraph text is a text format suitable for larger bodies of text as it allows you to specify
formatting attributes such as bullets, tabs and more. Paragraph text can be either imported from a text file or
