"vai viņš ir analogs Adobe Illustratoram?"
"Adobe Illustrator is considered the industry-standard editor. The AI file format is a common vector format for exchange. Illustrator is an expensive package. It has a long history, and its feature set allows creation of complex vector artwork. Constant redevelopment in line with other Adobe products has kept it an almost compulsory choice of vector-based editing software for the professional designer, especially since its integration with Adobe's Creative Suite packages in recent years. It has a steeper learning curve (more difficult in the beginning) than alternative products. Illustrator imports over two dozen formats (including PSD, PDF, SVG). Illustrator exports AI, PDF, SVG, SVGZ, GIF, JPG, PNG, WBMP, and SWF.

CorelDRAW has much in common with Adobe Illustrator and Freehand and is another industry-standard editor, largely used in the graphic design, sign making and fashion design industries. CorelDRAW and Illustrator are capable of limited interoperation by reading each other's file formats. Major differences between the two include CorelDRAW's extensive array of more than 50 import and export filters, on-screen and dialog box editing and the ability to create multi-page documents. It can also generate TrueType and Type1 fonts, although refined typographic control is better suited to a more specific application. Some other features of CorelDRAW include the creation and execution of VBA macros, viewing of colour separations in print preview mode and integrated professional imposing options"

Ja apgūsi abus, tas būs tikai pluss.

Iesaku ņemt to, kurā jau strādā - jo maketēt labi var abās.
Un jāskatās, kuras programmas vēl izmanto - piemēram, ja Tu papildus lieto Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, tad loģiskāk ņemt Adobe produktu.

paldies!
Man papildus programmatūras uz šī darba datora nav. Tāpēc apsvēru Coreli, jo tam nāk līdzi arī photopain uc. Es tikai baidos, ka Corelis varētu būs sarežģītāks par Illustratoru :S
