FOREWORD
Having celebrated our 20th anniversary last year, it’s our second decade of creating and
refining our complete and easy-to-use graphic design suite. Learning resources remains a
key element to enable users of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to get going quickly and create
amazing illustrations, layouts, graphics, and more. We are, therefore, including, in addition

to our help system, electronic documentation, and video tutorials, a full-color hard-cover
book of tips and techniques in the latest boxed version of the suite.
We’re excited about the new CorelDRAW X5 The Official Guide you hold in your hands,
because McGraw-Hill Professional and author Gary Bouton have taken a different approach
to grasping and ultimately mastering our suite of programs. Because the team at Corel has
covered the basics with our documentation, this has freed The Official Guide to focus on
methods for perfecting your craft and design ambitions. You’ll find expert instruction on
illustration techniques, not only how to use CorelDRAW, but also how to get the results you
have in mind. As you’ll see, all the examples in The Official Guide are explained in digestible
detail in a way that is relevant to a goal you have in mind. You’ll learn as you create; step-
by-step instructions are supported by dozens of example files you can download, and these
examples will also provide an idea book you can build upon for inspiration in your own work.
This comprehensive guide is the result of a valued partnership between Corel Corporation
and McGraw-Hill Professional. The author has worked closely with the product team at Corel
to ensure that professionals and aspiring designers using our product have the information they
need to quickly achieve stunning results.
Congratulations to our official guide author, Gary Bouton, for providing such a quality
book packed with references, insights, and an accomplished illustrator’s perspective on that
intangible item that makes artwork attractive to an audience: insight. As you go through
each chapter, I’m sure you’ll find this to be an invaluable resource for both beginners and
graphics professionals alike.
Both McGraw-Hill Professional and Corel present you with something truly new in this
book and in the X5 Graphics suite, because like any successful communication that has to be
open and two-way, you told us what you wanted, we listened, and The Official Guide is our
reply to you.
Happy CorelDRAWing!

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
C’mon: you and I both know that no one reads the acknowledgments section in a book when
it’s much more fun to dive right into the meat of a detective novel, a historical fiction, and
even a book on computer software. But if I’ve by chance caught your eye here, I’d like you
to know that if you enjoy this book (the correct answer is yes, you will), the folks who
worked together had just as much fun creating it. I can’t think of a single book I’ve written
in the past when the author, the production and layout people, and the editors just clicked as
we did with this book. The bonus was that we got to know each other as we worked against
deadlines to bring you this hefty piece of documentation. I’d like to introduce my friends to
you now and to thank them for making my part in the CorelDRAW X5 The Official Guide the
best kick one could possibly have without breaking any federal laws:
●
To Megg Morin. Once again, Megg has played the gracious asylum keeper. She has
freely offered me encouragement, advice, lots and lots of support for the direction in
which I wanted to move this book, at times has humored me, and has let me get silly
at least once in every chapter. Megg is good therapy for me, and this book will, in
turn, be good therapy for you in the way it’s written while you learn a very, very
deep suite of applications.
●
To Meghan Riley, for not only keeping track of an immense amount of data, but also
for helping me stay organized, in the kindest, most gracious fashion a freelance
writer could hope for. Oh, oh; look, Meghan—the figure on page 285 is upside-
down!!! Onnnnnly kidding! Thank you, Meghan.
●
Project Editor LeeAnn Pickrell. Let me make it known that LeeAnn didn’t just work
on copy for this book; she worked with me to bring a sense of organization, worked
with my style and not against it, and discussed chapters with me down to a level
where at times I felt she was sitting in my office. Unfortunately, I have only one

chair here, but I still want to thank you, LeeAnn, for making my mots into bon mots.

Copy Editor Jan Jue. Jan went to extremes to ensure the book you’re holding is
accurate. I know of no other copy editor who actually installs the program a book is
