The ragged edge outlines we saw in the previous pages are not easily
accomplished in CorelDraw (similar methods can used in Corel PhotoPaint).
However, CorelDraw offers many ways to break the rules. This is the
program if you want to duplicate the 1950's ad look, as in hand drawn
and colored graphics, often with outlines not quite containing the interior
color.
The Artistic Media Tool is a dream come true when you are looking to
add some movement and energy to your graphics. Although it does not
lend itself to hard fast rules, you will soon become proficient at choosing
the right tool, fill and outline colors to accomplish the look you desire.
The Artistic Media Tool works best on curves, so you should convert
circles, squares or polygons to curves before applying the effect. You
must convert text to curves. Select the item you wish to convert. Choose
Arrange>Convert to Curves from the Main Menu.
