Editor to share with you what more useful graphic design software, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article. Let's learn about it!

The five major software of graphic design are: 1, Photoshop, professional image processing software; 2, CorelDRAW, vector graphics design software; 3, Illustrator, industrial standard vector illustration software; 4, InDesign, mainly used for typesetting and editing of all kinds of printed materials; 5, AutoCAD.

Five major software of graphic design:

Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop this is a software that has to be mentioned when it comes to graphic design. Photoshop, abbreviated as "PS", is a professional image processing software developed by Adobe. Photoshop mainly deals with digital images made up of pixels. Using its many editing and drawing tools, the picture editing work can be carried out effectively.

According to the different functions, Photoshop can be divided into image editing, image synthesis, color correction and special effects and so on.

Image editing is the basis of image processing, which can make various transformations such as magnifying, shrinking, rotating, tilting, mirroring, etc., and can also copy, remove spots, repair, modify the damage of the image and so on.

Image synthesis is to synthesize several images through layer operation and tool application to synthesize complete and clear meaning images, which is the only way for art design; the drawing tools provided by the software make foreign images and ideas well integrated.

Color correction and color matching can adjust and correct the color of the image conveniently and quickly, and can also be switched in different colors to meet the application of images in different fields, such as web design, printing, multimedia and so on.

The production of special effects is mainly completed by the comprehensive application of filters, channels and tools in the software. Including the creativity of special effects of images and the production of special effects words, such as oil painting, relief, plaster painting, sketch and other common traditional art techniques can be completed by the special effects of the software.

Photoshop is widely used and is an indispensable tool in advertising, Taobao, packaging, software and other fields. with the continuous updating and upgrading of the software, there are many versions circulating, from CS to CC2019 software. generally speaking, when choosing a version, you should choose the latest and most advanced version, but the high version requires a lot of computer configuration. It is recommended that beginners choose CS4 or CS5, version 6 when learning the software. The author personally feels that these versions can meet the daily needs of most users, and are relatively stable and easy to use. Of course, if your computer configuration is high enough and full of passion and desire to learn Photoshop, you should choose the latest and most advanced version of Photoshop.

CorelDRAW

CorelDRAW is a master product in graphic design software, referred to as "CDR". It is a vector graphics design software produced by Corel Company of Canada. It provides designers with a variety of functions such as vector animation, page design, website production, bitmap editing, web page animation and so on.

CorelDRAW provides designers with a complete set of drawing tools including circles, rectangles, polygons, squares, spirals, and shape tools to make more changes to a variety of basic graphics, such as rounded rectangles, arcs, fans, stars, etc. At the same time, it also provides special brushes, such as pressure pen, writing pen, sprayer and so on, in order to make full use of the computer's characteristics of large amount of information and high random control ability.

And CorelDRAW solid color filling provides a variety of modes of color blending scheme and spot color application, gradient, bitmap, shading filling, color change and mode of operation can not be achieved by other software; and the software's color matching management scheme allows display, printing and printing to achieve color consistency.

CorelDRAW word processing and image output and input constitute the typesetting function; word processing is by far the best of all software; it supports the input and output of most image formats; and almost unimpeded exchange of shared files with other software. So most of those who use PC for art design are typeset directly in CorelDRAW and then output by color separation.

CorelDRAW is more powerful than Photoshop for text typesetting processing, the color of CorelDRAW is more accurate and close to the production requirements when printing, and the document produced by CorelDRAW is usually in vector format, which in theory can be infinitely magnified and the file occupies less internal space, the two can complement each other. Another point to note is that there are many versions of CorelDRAW, and the low version is not compatible with opening the documents made by the high version, so it is recommended that you choose some advanced X8, and other versions in the process of learning to use.

Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator is also Adobe (a lot of Adobe's software is the benchmark in the industry), or "AI" for short. Illustator, Photoshop and CorelDRAW are called the three Musketeers in the field of graphic design. Adobe illustrator, with its powerful functions and considerate user interface, has occupied most of the global vector editing software.

The most important feature of Illustator lies in the use of pen tools, which makes it possible to operate vector drawing with simple and powerful functions. It also integrates word processing, coloring and other functions, and is suitable for printing and publishing line manuscripts, professional illustrations, multimedia image processing and Internet page production, etc., and can provide high precision and control for line manuscripts. Suitable for the production of any small design to large-scale complex projects.

Both Illustator and CorelDRAW are vector graphics production software, but CorelDRAW supports multi-page function, which is convenient for typesetting and has bar code production function. On the other hand, Illustator needs to use InDesign, another software of Adobe, to achieve multi-page and multi-document typesetting.

InDesign

The Adobe InDesign mentioned above, referred to as "ID", is a desktop publishing application of Adobe, which is mainly used for typesetting and editing of all kinds of printed matter.

InDesign software is a design software located in the field of professional typesetting. It is based on a new open object-oriented system, which can achieve a high degree of expansibility. It also establishes the core that can provide custom magazines, advertising design, catalogs, retailer design studios and newspaper publishing solutions. The plug-in function can be supported.

InDesign's strength is to arrange multi-page documents, and his home page function is unparalleled. Illustator row single page is very strong, draw some effect is very strong, but there is no real meaning of multi-page function. Although the artboard function has been added now, it is not a true multi-page typesetting function. If you are arranging books, magazines, or multi-page picture books, be sure to use InDesign.

AutoCAD

AutoCAD is an automatic computer aided design software first developed by Autodesk in 1982. It is used for two-dimensional drawing, detailed drawing, design documents and basic three-dimensional design. After continuous perfection, it has become a popular drawing tool in the world.

AutoCAD can draw arbitrary two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics, and compared with the traditional manual drawing, AutoCAD drawing is faster, more accurate, and more convenient for individuality. it is mainly used in civil construction, decoration, industrial drawing, engineering drawing, electronic industry, clothing processing and other fields.

AutoCAD has a good user interface, and various operations can be done through interactive menus or command line methods. Its multi-document design environment allows non-computer professionals to quickly learn to use it. In the process of continuous practice, we can better master its various application and development skills, so as to continuously improve work efficiency.

AutoCAD has a wide range of adaptability and can be run on microcomputers and workstations supported by various operating systems. It has incomparable advantages over other Chinese word processing software. at the same time, it has a strong ability to deal with graphics and images, and can excellently express the idea of layout design. it is suitable for newspapers, magazines, books, brochures and advertising inserts and other publications. Widely used in newspapers, magazines, books and other typesetting, is the domestic mainstream typesetting software.
