www.images-magazine.com 32 images SEPTEMBER 2021 Why did Corel introduce CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2021? The development of CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2021 was part of a progressive, long-term relationship with our customers that’s based on user needs and responding rapidly to changes in the market. Over the past year and a half, it’s become obvious that collaboration is essential to the way we work. In many cases, remote work is here to stay, and we saw an urgent need to find new ways to make working together more seamless. Which aspects will most appeal to garment decorators? Garment decorators need software that’s flexible enough to work with all the different possibilities for output, and CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2021 does just that. Save time with the new Multi-asset Export with its flexible range of options for outputting pages and objects, and simultaneously export the same design element at different sizes, resolutions, and file formats. The software plays an important role in the day-to-day of many designers’ business operations. From creating T-shirt designs, to colour separations, illustrations, business cards and logo design, CorelDraw Graphics Suite is a one-stop-shop that can handle any type of graphics project. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned designer, it has everything you need to design and create at a professional level. What new tools are you most proud of and why? When we first introduced collaboration features in March 2020, we really had no idea of the pandemic that was to come. But as we developed our next release for March 2021, we doubled down on collaboration with powerful updates to our cloud-based tools that make it possible for you to streamline your approval processes and present designs to clients and get their feedback in real time, directly within CorelDraw. As people were forced to work apart, we found new ways to ensure that graphics professionals could stay connected. Beyond the ability to connect with others, CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2021 is a true cross-platform experience on Windows, Mac, web, iPad, and other mobile devices. We’re everywhere you are with native support for Apple M1, a new touch-optimised CorelDraw.app experience on mobile and tablets, a new CorelDraw.app for iPad, as well as an exceptional experience on Windows 10. The advancements we’ve made will make you productive no matter what. CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2021 offers an all-new, flexible design space [that] allows users to work more efficiently and with greater control over their projects and assets. Users can now easily access a new Multi-Page view to see and work on all of a project’s assets in one view. Thanks to the new Pages docker/inspector, you can now see all pages in a design with a new thumbnail grid view, making it easier to manage and sort your pages. Have there been any updates for the new release since it launched earlier this year? Building on our commitment to constantly deliver value to our customers, we’re thrilled to say that we’re working towards some exciting updates for CorelDraw 2021 subscribers coming this autumn! Why do you think garment decorators should invest in CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2021? One of CorelDraw Graphics Suite’s biggest strengths is that it’s a single package with the flexibility to create a wide variety of graphics production tasks. When selecting our suite, garment decorators can have the confidence of knowing they can handle virtually any design task their clients may require without needing to learn or purchase multiple single-purpose tools. Costs can go down while productivity is boosted.
