CorelDRAW Economic Stimulus Plan

In these tough economic times we all need to find a way to get the most from the products that we sell or products we use on a regular basis. You should also consider ways to make your business more profitable without a lot of added time to your work day. First, I'll tell you a great way to do this and then I'll give you a special discount that is only available for a very short time. I’m sure most of you are aware of the CorelDRAW X4 Unleashed ebook, but how well do you really know how to use the CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT tools and use them to the fullest extent? Here at Unleashed Productions, we have just what you need to become more successful in your business. We have a 3 day class called the CorelDRAW Unleashed Boot Camp. This class will equip you with the tools necessary to increase your productivity and to help you produce a better product. We can show you new techniques and tools that will get you out of the rut you have put yourself in because you just do the same things over and over again. Our classes are offered several times a year and I will be the one teaching you. The class size is limited to 12 campers so you have great opportunity to interact with me and get a tremendous amount of information. Here are just a few of the comments our former camper have written:

"You exceeded my expectations. I’ve worked with Corel for 10 years now, if I had attended your Boot Camp years ago you would have saved me thousands of hours!"

"You packed a ton of learning into those three short days. After using CorelDRAW for so many years, I had fallen into a set way of doing things and just never thought to try anything new. Thanks to you I’ve found my enthusiasm again!"

"LOVED IT! More than worth the money, I should have done this years ago"

Each Boot Camper will receive:

• Full-color handout with over 160 pages of detailed notes on each Boot Camp session.
• Boot Camp DVD-ROM with software and samples to practice what you’ve learned.
• Copy of CorelDRAW X4 Unleashed Premium Bonus Content Edition.
• A Certificate of Completion to show their accomplishment.
• Continental breakfast, lunch and refreshments each day.
• Enjoy a fantastic BBQ dinner on the second night.

Our classes are geared for the intermediate to advanced user of CorelDRAW. We do however accept beginners, if we have advanced notice. We can send you the class information ahead of time for you to go over and get yourself familiar with CorelDRAW.

This class is not only a fantastic way to improve your business, it will open your eyes to endless possibilities with CorelDRAW.

Our April Boot Camp will be the 100th Boot Camp since we started them back in 1996. I want to make sure that every seat is filled so I'm going to give you a $100 discount if you use the code "100CAMPS" when you register. I'll even allow you to use this code for the July camp in case April won't fit on your calendar. This is a very limited time offer and you must register no later than March 20, 2009 or when the classes are full, whichever comes first.

CorelDRAW International Design Contest is Back!

If you haven't already heard, CorelDRAW is now 20 years old. As part of the birthday celebration, Corel is doing a few things to commemorate it. Today two more things have been announced. The biggest news is the return of the CorelDRAW International Design Contest.

Those of you who have been using CorelDRAW for many years will no doubt remember the contest. Designers from worldwide would submit their best artwork in hopes of winning fame and prizes. The new contest is a little different, but the prizes offered are very nice.

There are six categories in which you can enter. You may only enter one piece of artwork in each category. The exception is the Academic category. If you enter in that category, you can not enter in other categories. Below are each of the categories with the descriptions provided by Corel for that category.

• Advertising & Marketing: Flyers, brochures, logos, signs and other designs related to advertising, marketing or point of purchase (POP)
• Promotional Items, Awards & Personalization: Designs to be used in the engraving, awards, dye sublimation and other related industries
• Vehicle Wraps: Designs to be used for car, truck, boat or other vehicle wraps
• Textile & Fashion Design: Designs for fashion, embroidery and direct-to-garment printing
• General Illustration & Fine Art: Artistic, creative and unique designs
• Academic: To enter this category, you must be able to prove that you attend an educational institution. You may submit entries from any of the categories listed above into the Academic category.

First, second and third place winners will be selected in each category and will win a very nice prize package designed for the category in which you win. So if you win the Vehicle Wraps category, your prize package is related to designing vehicle wraps.

Each of the six first prize winners will then compete for the grand prize of a $22,000 Roland VersaCAMM printer/cutter.

I know that I'll be watching the results of the contest very closely as I'd like to feature some of the winning entries in a future version of my CorelDRAW Unleashed book. Find your best artwork and enter the contest now. You could be the winner walking away with the big (it is really big) prize!


A second announcement was also made. There is a special version of CorelDRAW box called the CorelDRAW Anniversary Edition. It includes CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 (the same version you may already have), a Wacom Intuos3 tablet and Corel Painter Sketch Pad. If you haven't already gotten a copy of CorelDRAW X4, this may be the perfect chance for you to get a copy and much more. It is available as both a full version and an upgrade.
