Question 1: What software does graphic design include? CorelDraw is a graphic design software launched by Corel that integrates vector graphics design, printing and typesetting, text editing and high-quality graphics output. It is deeply loved by the majority of graphic designers and is currently widely used in advertising production, book publishing, etc. Applications with similar functions include Illustrator and Freehand. Freehand is a fully convenient vector drawing software that can suit the needs of users at different application levels. Together with Macromedia's Flash and FireworksPagemaker, it is considered the "Three Musketeers of Web Page Production" and can provide everything from design to design in a streamlined graphic creation environment. The concept perfectly transitions to all the tools needed to realize design, production, and publishing. Its greatest advantage is that it can give full play to people's imagination and always guide the entire drawing with creativity first. Currently, it is used in printing and typesetting, multimedia, web page production, etc. fields are widely used.

Using Freehand, you can create vector graphics that can be scaled and printed at any resolution without loss of detail or clarity. We can use it to create product logos and advertising banners, or we can convert the work directly. for Flas***.

Adobe Illustrator CS, the industry-standard vector graphics software, is an essential tool for anyone who needs to realize their creativity in print, the web, and any other medium. With powerful new 3D capabilities, advanced printing controls, smooth Adobe PDF integration, enhanced printing options, and faster performance, this tool is an essential tool to help you realize your ideas and efficiently distribute your artistic creations to any place. AutoCAD: is a well-known graphic design software that was first unveiled at the dex conference in 1982. Due to its excellent performance, it is known as the universal computer-aided design software and is widely used in architecture, electronics, machinery, advertising, decoration, In many graphic and three-dimensional design fields such as clothing, it has become the de facto drawing standard and the CAD software with the highest share in the field of engineering drawing. 3D Studio Max: Making 3D animation is a topic that covers a wide range of topics. From a certain perspective, the creation of 3D animation is similar to the use of sculpture, photography, set design and stage lighting. As a professional-level work, it must at least go through Three steps: styling, animation, and drawing. 3D Studio Max is currently the most widely used 3D modeling on the PC platform

Question 2: What are the commonly used software for graphic design? It’s really hard to answer your question. The concept of plane is too broad. All the non-three-dimensional designs you see can be called plane design. This type of design software is mainly software developed by Adobe Software Company. , are all graphic design software, divided into vector graphics software and bitmap software based on the nature of the picture.

1. Vector graphics

Vector graphics, also called vector graphics, are made using a series of Computer instructions are used to describe and record a picture. A picture can be interpreted as a series of sub-pictures composed of points, lines, surfaces, etc. It records the geometric shape, line thickness and color of the object. The generated vector file has a small storage capacity and is especially suitable for text design, pattern design, layout design, logo design, computer-aided design (CAD), arts and crafts design, illustration, etc.

Vector graphics can only represent graphics composed of regular lines, such as engineering drawings, three-dimensional shapes or artistic words, etc.; for images composed of irregular pixels (landscapes, characters, landscapes), it is difficult to Expressed in mathematical form, it is not suitable to use vector graphics format; secondly, vector graphics are not easy to produce colorful images, the drawn images are not very realistic, and it is not convenient to exchange data between different software.

In addition, vector images cannot be obtained by scanning, they are mainly generated by design software. Vector drawing programs define (like mathematical calculations) angles, arcs, areas, and directions in space relative to the paper, including wireframes that give fills and rounds their character. Common vector image processing software includes CoreIDRAW, AutoCAD, Illustrator, FreeHand, etc.

2. Bitmap

Bitmap is also called bitmap or pixel map. The image on the computer screen is composed of luminous points (i.e. pixels) on the screen. Each Each point uses binary data to describe its color, brightness and other information. These points are discrete, similar to a lattice. The color combination of multiple pixels forms an image, which is called a bitmap.

When a bitmap is enlarged to a certain limit, you will find that it is composed of small squares. These small squares are called pixels. A pixel is the smallest image element in the image. When working with bitmap images, you are editing pixels rather than objects or shapes. Its size and quality depend on how many pixels there are in the image. The more pixels per square inch, the clearer the image, and the difference between colors. The blend is smoother. Computer storage bit images actually store information such as the position and color data of each pixel of the image, so the clearer the image, the more pixels, and the greater the corresponding storage capacity.

Bitmap images can more easily mimic a photorealistic effect than vector images. The main advantages of bitmap images are that they are expressive, delicate, multi-layered and detailed, and can easily simulate real effects like photos. Since you are editing pixels in the image, its clarity and smoothness will be affected when the image is stretched, enlarged or reduced. Bitmap images can be obtained through a digital camera, scan or PhotoCD, or can be generated through other design software

Bitmap images, also called bitmap images or drawn images, are composed of individual points called pixels . When you zoom into a bitmap, you can see the individual picture elements that make up the image. Increasing the size of a bitmap increases the size of individual pixels, making lines and shapes appear jagged. But if viewed from a slightly further distance, the color and shape of the bitmap image are continuous. This is the characteristic of bitmaps. Vector images, also called drawing images, are mathematically defined as the relationship between a series of points. Vector images can be enlarged or reduced arbitrarily without image distortion

My personal design experience is, You don’t need to know too much software. If you know the graphic PS and AI, you’ll be fine. If you know the typesetting ID software, you’ll be fine. For video editing, Adobe Premiere is fine. The key is to look at your design concept. Usually The right way is to look at more graphic works of the same type and be good at collecting design information.

At that time, we also had to frequently download various materials. Websites such as Material China and Nitu.com could be used for downloading. Hope this helps!

Question 3: What software is needed for graphic design? 1. Bitmap processing

Four popular bitmap processing softwares include photoshop, fireworks, Paintshop, and Painter. However, In the field of graphic design, photoshop is basically used. There are too many introductions to it, so I won’t go into details here. In the early stages of graphic design, the application of PS has almost become the most important indicator for many companies to judge your level.

By the way, let’s talk about a few other models; Painter, if you are an illustrator, please put aside photoshop, because compared to computer painting, photoshop is not Painter’s opponent at all.

Fireworks, swordsman who makes web pages, need I say it? Paintshop, simple things such as factory posters can be done with Paintshop and CorelDraw. There is no need to bother with photoshop.

2. Vector image processing software

Popular ones in the professional field include CorelDraw, Illustrator, FreeHand, PageMaker (should be said to be text typesetting software)

CorelDraw is more well-known in China than it is in the world. It is a vector editing and text software. The advantage of a software that integrates typesetting functions is that it is powerful, easy to operate and easy to use; the disadvantage is that it has flaws in bitmap support (especially in terms of color), and the upper limit of bitmap output seems to be only 10,000 pixels in one direction

Illustrator It is a software that integrates vector editing and text typesetting functions. The advantage is that the text typesetting effect and vector painting are relatively good, and it has the best compatibility with Photoshop (which is nonsense). The disadvantage is that it is lacking in typesetting and editing. , it takes a long time to output bitmaps

FreeHand is a software that integrates vector image editing and text typesetting functions. It is excellent in freehand drawing, typesetting and special effects processing, but it does not support bitmaps well. FreeHand is known as Little CorelDraw, you will know what it means after hearing it, the slimmed down version of CorelDraw

PageMaker is a text typesetting software, haha, the invincible player in the typesetting industry, automatic page setting, template page setting , text paragraph settings, text wrapping and other functions are available. The disadvantage is that except for text layout, you can’t even draw a straight line haha

3. Software combination

photoshop+Illustrator

Suitable for general graphic design work, photoshop image processing, Illustrator typesetting, word processing and drawing graphics

I have to admit that this pair is a perfect combination and should be said to be the best. Yes, it is universal and first-class in the world. If you plan to go to a foreign advertising company, you must use this combination to learn, because many of them only recognize this. It is a pity that China has its own national conditions, and many output companies do not support Illustrator. Output files, or errors of this kind occur when importing Illustrator output files, so when using this combination, please do not use AI format for the final output file

photoshop+CorelDraw

Applicable For general graphic design work, Photoshop is used to process images, and CorelDraw is used for typesetting, word processing and drawing graphics

This has basically become the absolute mainstream combination for domestic advertising companies, especially small and medium-sized advertising companies. Many large advertising companies have also I started to put down my arrogance and abandon Illustrator and switch to CorelDraw, but please note that CorelDraw8.0 does not support versions above 9.0, and 9.0 does not support versions above 10.0, so it is best to use the 8.0 format when outputting to cdr format

Suitable for general graphic design work, photoshop processes images, FreeHand typesetting, word processing and drawing graphics, the effect is almost the same as photoshop+CorelDraw

Although this combination uses There are not many people, but there are still some. There are still people who learn FreeHand but not CorelDraw.

CorelDraw+PageMaker

Suitable for textual poster design and PageMaker word processing. Integrate the layout and draw graphics with CorelDraw

This combination has a relatively high adoption rate in factories and government agencies, but they actually don’t pay much attention to...>>

Question 4 ：What kind of image processing is available in graphic design software?

Software and advantages: Photoshop is mainly used for image processing, processing pictures to make them more realistic.

Modeling

Software and advantages: 3dmax is a software that every designer must master. 3dmax is a software used for modeling, material, model, and lighting display;

Plane drawing

Software and advantages: AutoCAD is used for plan drawing. Floor layout drawings, construction drawings, elevation drawings, and three-dimensional drawings are all operated with CAD software. of.

Image processing

Software and advantages: CorelDRAW, Illustrator are used in many fields such as trademark design, logo production, model drawing, illustration drawing, typesetting and color separation output

Web design

Software and advantages: Flash, Fireworks, and Dreamweaver are used to create beautiful web pages. They usually require the cooperation of centralized software, which depends on their own requirements.

Combining

Combining software is professional software that combines text and pictures into beautiful prints. This type of software itself does not have any processing functions for pictures or graphics. However, in objective work, graphic production personnel need to constantly switch back and forth between these three types of commonly used software, resulting in a large number of unnecessary and cumbersome procedures.

Representative software: QuakeXpress, Founder Feiteng, Pagemaker

Vector design

Software and advantages: Illustrator and CorelDRAW are both characterized by the ability to zoom in and out at will The clarity remains unchanged, and the logo design, text, and typesetting are particularly excellent, but Illustrator can be used on both MAC and PC, and CorelDRAW is mostly used on PC. Text typesetting software and its advantages: PageMaker is a common text typesetting processing software and is called the lowest platform. The advantage is that files made by any software can be carried. The disadvantage is that the software cannot be interoperated on MAC and PC, and is too simple. Corresponding special effects processing cannot be performed and needs to be completed with the help of other software. It is more common on MAC and PM on PC cannot be output.

Design aids

The reason why they are called auxiliary is mainly because they are not software that graphic producers must master, but because the files provided by customers are not the same, it is Graphic designers have different knowledge requirements, and there is no harm in knowing more about them.

This includes:

Word processing software Microsoft Office Word

Viewing effect software Adobe Acrobat

Please refer to "Graphic Design" Baidu Encyclopedia baike. baidu/...uH33Bq

Question 5: What are the main software for graphic design? Graphic design software includes Photoshop, CorelDRAW, IIIustator, Freehand, PageMaker, Photolmpact... The most commonly used software are Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and PageMaker.

Photoshop is a dot matrix design software, which is composed of pixels. The larger the resolution, the larger the image. The advantage of Photoshop is its rich colors and super functions, which no one can match; its disadvantage is that the file is too large. After enlarging, the clarity will be reduced and the edges of the text will not be clear.

Illustrator is a vector design software that can be enlarged or reduced at will without changing the clarity. The biggest advantage of Illustrator is that it can remain clear when zoomed in to any extent, especially logo design, text, and typesetting. It can be used on both MAC and PC.

CorelDRAW is a vector design software that can be enlarged or reduced at will without changing the definition. The biggest advantage of CorelDRAW is that it can remain clear to any degree of magnification, especially logo design, text, and typesetting. There are not many MAC applications, and they are more common on PCs.

PageMaker is a common text typesetting processing software. We call it the lowest platform, that is, files made by any software can be hosted. The disadvantage is that the software cannot be interoperated on MAC and PC, and is too simple. Corresponding special effects processing cannot be performed and needs to be completed with the help of other software. It is more common on MAC. PM on PC does not seem to be able to output.

Question 6: What software are available for graphic design? Software mastering category

There are many graphic design softwares, but the more commonly used ones now are photoshop, coreldraw, freehand, illustrator, pagemaker,

photoshop is mainly used for image processing and text editing. Few advertising screens

Coreldraw is mainly used for typesetting. It is a vector software. Its text typesetting function is more powerful than photoshop. It can be used to design business cards, leaflets, posters, albums, newspapers, etc.... < /p>

I use Freehand less, it is also a vector software, its function is not as good as Coreldraw, because it can run on Mac, but Coreldraw cannot, so it is chosen by everyone.

Illustrator is also a The operation of vector software is a bit like a combination of photoshop and coreldraw, but I am still used to using coreldraw for six years, so I rarely use this software.

Pagemaker is a professional typesetting software. Mainly used for arranging books and periodicals.

The basic aspects of graphic design are mainly to overcome the plane composition, pattern, graphic association, creativity, basic sketch, color composition, etc. Generally, these books are sold in bookstores. It is the main factor that determines the beauty and appeal of your future designs. It can be said that these are the soul of the work, and the software application is the body of the work.

Graphic design is rampant. It is easy to get started with graphic design. Think of it as It’s difficult for a master to persist. I have been engaged in design for 10 years, and I know how tiring it is to do graphic design. When you are just starting out, you can start with packaging design and advertising design. The main reason is that there are many things to refer to in this area. Only by doing more can you have your own heart. , read more about excellent foreign designs, China is not as good as foreign countries in this regard, learn foreign creative thinking, design is to reject experience, refuse to repeat, read more books on other aspects, improve your own cultural literacy and aesthetic ability, (especially in layout Design and color application are even more important. Your level can be seen at a glance from this aspect). If you have the conditions, you can learn from a famous teacher and borrow the east wind. Go to shopping malls to look at other people’s packaging and street advertisements, and study other people’s layouts and layouts. Use color, this is so useful, in short, you should pay more attention and learn more from around you...

Question 7: What drawing software is needed for graphic design? PS: Processing bitmaps depends on it. Everyone who studies graphic arts knows how to use PS, and many people who haven’t studied graphic arts can also use PS. It’s very useful. Coreldra Sea or AI: is the leader in the vector illustration. Therefore, to do flat work, you need to learn both PS Coreldraw software. 3D is needed in some places when making flat surfaces, but not many people use it. If you don’t want to learn, forget it. CAD is different from those. It is mainly used for drawing, such as urban construction and development, clothing design, interior layout, mechanical drawing, etc. To be honest, I don’t recommend that you specialize in CAD, unless you can find a good job in the future. Specializing in CAD is too one-dimensional. Can you work in a design institute? If you can, then you can specialize in CAD, but a lot of CAD drawings also require design. PS Coreldraw (or AI) can basically complete the task if it knows these two. Of course, the field of graphic design is also very broad. If you do typesetting and printing work, you will also need to learn pagemaker and freehand.

Question 8: What are the better software for graphic design? 1 Image processing software

Now it is photoshop. There is no software more powerful for image processing than this software. If you just do some image processing (such as color grading in a photo studio), put it online and use it. This software will do the trick.

2 Appropriate graphics software

Vector graphics software includes Illstrator and corel Draw, both of which are excellent vector drawing and typesetting software. It’s enough to be proficient in one of them, and of course it’s best to also know a little bit about the other. The works designed by these two software are mainly used for printing, inkjet printing, etc.

As a graphic designer, you must know photoshop, at least one of Illstrator and corel Draw. Of course there are other software, but as long as you are proficient in these three.

Question 9: What are the related software for graphic design? Photoshop processing pictures

Three major vector software: Coreldraw, Illustrator, FreeHand. || {Coreldraw (CD for short), Illustrator (AI for short), FreeHand (FH for short)}. There is a saying that CD does design and AI does creativity.

Comparison of the performance of three major vector software, CD, AI and FH

Graphic designers generally use three vector software, coreldraw, illustator and freehand. Let’s compare these three. Software

Display: illustrator is very good, coreldraw is very good, and freehand is average.

Color: Illustrator is excellent, Coreldraw is better, Freehand is average.

Speed: Illustrator is very slow, Coreldraw is average, and Freehand is extremely fast.

Operation: Illustrator is cumbersome, Coreldraw is convenient, and Freehand is convenient.

Hand-drawing: Illustrator is poor, Coreldraw is very good, and Freehand is excellent.

Software size: Illustrator is very large, Coreldraw is very large, and Freehand is extremely small.

Detailed functions: illustrator is average, coreldraw is excellent, and freehand is very good.

Typesetting: Illustrator is average and does not have multi-page function; Coreldraw is very good and Freehand is very good.

Bitmap processing methods: Illustrator is very strong, Coreldraw is average, and Freehand is basically useless.

Combination with photoshop: illustrator is excellent, coreldraw is very good, and freehand is very good.

Printing: Illustrator is very good, Coreldraw is very poor, and Freehand is very good.

The output vector format: illustrator (.ai) is the most common, coreldraw (.cdr) is not universal, and freehand (.fh8) is common in several software of Macromedia Company.

Usage on PC: coreldraw was originally used on PC and seems more popular. Illustator and Freehand were originally used on Apple computers and looked more professional. Nowadays, both Illustator and Freehand are available on PC, although they are quite different. Especially for Freehand, the problem of garbled characters and Chinese characters is very troublesome. Therefore, it is best not to use freehand on PC. In this regard, coreldraw naturally does the best.

Therefore, if you want to use a lot of illustrations, it is recommended to use Illustrator, and freehand and coreldraw for hand-drawing and typesetting.

Comparison of Corel DRAW, Illustrator and FreeHand

If you must ask this question: What are the characteristics of Corel DRAW, Illustrator and FreeHand? It’s hard to say. Corel DRAW is the oldest among vector software. It has powerful functions. It integrates so many software packages, and perhaps not many people can fully master it. Perhaps because there are too many functions, new scholars are now willing to choose Illustrator and FreeHand, which are easier to get started. In the current field of vector drawing, Corel DRAW has always kept pace with Illustrator and FreeHand. If we have to distinguish between high and low, then FreeHand may not have any special advantages in images, but in terms of word processing, FreeHand has obvious advantages. Some people It is said that "FreeHand's word processing functions are comparable to many word processing software." Corel DRAW is relatively comprehensive in all aspects, but it is still a little behind in format compatibility with related software.
