ISS Atlanta Conference and Giveaway Spotlight: Digital Art Camp

Aug 28, 2008

New for ISS Atlanta is the Digital Art Camp: Powered by CorelDraw X3. Held Sept. 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. — the day before the show opens — it will be the most comprehensive, Corel-based computer graphics in the industry.

Jay Busselle of Digital Art Solutions (DAS), Tempe, Ariz., will share the secrets of industry-specific information for how CorelDraw Graphics Suite can increase production efficiency and boost profits for screen printers, embroiderers, graphic artists, promotional products distributors and CorelDraw users of all kinds.

Topics range from how to work with bitmap and vector artwork to the most efficient and creative methods to prepare graphics for screen printing, cutting processes or embroidery. Jay also will show you the smartest methods to manipulate and edit both text and clipart objects, and how to handle logos and sample projects. It will be a starting point for less-experienced users and a valuable refresher course for more advanced graphics arts professionals.

DAS also will host a drawing at the workshop, and two lucky attendees will win upgrades to CorelDraw X4, a training CD and DAS tech support plan, with each package valued at $249 each. — M.D.
