After setting the page size, start to divide the area, roughly divide the content you want to put, which area is important and which area is not, and make sure that the important area accounts for an important part of the page!
Then decide your theme.
Then put the pictures and words you need. Of course, the size of pictures and words depends on your needs and your aesthetic concept, and the rest is gone! Actually, everyone can do it. However, there are also subdivisions. Please look at photoshop, which is mainly about processing, effect and processing. Coreldrw prefers design, creation and painting. In this regard. How to start? Read some professional books, advertising design and color theory when you have time. Mainly look at other people's cases. Summing up other people's experience for your own use.
How to design a good advertising color page? To be a top designer is not only to have professional knowledge, just like a person who knows driving theory but can't drive, that is to say, it is absolutely impossible to understand theory without practical ability.
Only when theory and practice are integrated can it be OK!
Have a strong ability to capture beautiful details, natural creativity, changeable personality, but for design
Constantly pursuing. These are all what designers want. Of course, with a qualified top designer!
Don't waste your time. Only by studying constantly can you by going up one flight of stairs.
I wonder what kind of designer you want to be.

1.PhotoShop is an image processing software developed by Adobe Company, which mainly processes digital images composed of pixels. With its numerous editing and drawing tools, it can effectively edit pictures. Ps has many functions, including pictures, graphics, text, video, publishing and so on. Adobe supports Windows operating system, Android system and MacOS, but users of Linux operating system can run it with Wine.
Secondly, AdobeIndesign is also a desktop publishing (DTP) application of Adobe, which is mainly used for typesetting and editing various printed materials.

This graphic tool provides designers with many functions, such as vector animation, page design, website production, bitmap editing, webpage animation and so on. More professional designers and drawing enthusiasts provide briefings, color pages, manuals, product packaging, logos, web pages, etc. The intelligent drawing tools and new dynamic guidance provided by the software can fully reduce the user's manipulation difficulty, make it easier and more accurate for users to create the size and position of objects, reduce the click steps and save design time.

1, adobepremiere (professional. A very classic software, powerful, complex, rich in content, not easy to use)
2, the sound will reflect (a family-oriented software, simple and convenient to operate, many fixed templates, quick results, but not enough to make special effects)
