Graphic design software has always been a hot field of application, which is divided into two parts: image drawing and image processing, such as modeling drawing software, rendering software, image processing software, prepress assembly software and so on. Below, we will briefly introduce some commonly used software in this field: Photoshop, Coreldraw, Freehand, Illustrator, FireWorks and AutoCAD.
Photoshop is by far the most powerful image processing software, and has always been a giant in the field of image processing, widely used in publishing and printing, advertising design, artistic creativity, image editing and other fields.
CorelDraw is a graphic design software introduced by Corel company, which integrates vector graphic design, printing and typesetting, text editing and high-quality graphic output. CorelDRAW is deeply loved by graphic designers. At present, CorelDRAW is widely used in advertising production, book publishing and other aspects. Software with similar functions are Illustrator and Freehand.
Freehand is a convenient vector drawing software, which can meet the needs of users at different application levels. It is listed as "Three Musketeers of Web Making" along with Flash and FireworksPagemaker of Macromedia. Freehand can provide all the tools needed for the perfect transition from design concept to design, production and release in a simplified graphic creation environment. Its greatest advantage is that it can give full play to people's imagination and always guide the whole drawing with creativity first. At present, it is being printed and typeset. With Freehand, you can create vector graphics that can be scaled and printed at any resolution without losing detail or clarity. We can use it to make product logos and advertising banners, or we can directly convert the works into Flash animation.
Illustrator is an industry-standard vector graphics software and a basic tool for people who need to realize their creativity in print, network and any other media. With powerful new 3D functions, advanced printing control, smooth Adobe PDF integration, enhanced printing options and faster performance, this tool is an important tool to help realize creativity and efficiently distribute artistic creations anywhere.
AutoCAD: a well-known graphic design software, first appeared at the Comdex conference in 1982. Because of its excellent performance, it is known as a general computer-aided design software, which is widely used in many graphic and three-dimensional design fields such as architecture, electronics, machinery, advertising, decoration, clothing and so on. At present, it has become the de facto drawing standard and the most occupied CAD software in the field of engineering drawing.
3D Studio Max: Making 3D animation is a wide-ranging topic. To some extent, the creation of 3D animation is somewhat similar to the use of sculpture, photography, scenery design and stage lighting. As a professional work, there are at least three steps: modeling, animation and drawing. 3D Studio Max is the most widely used 3D modeling, animation and rendering software on PC platform at present, which is widely used in animation fields such as advertising, game design, film and television post-production. The latest version integrates many professional tools or plug-ins that used to be used only in movies, games and 3D design.
