I’m proud to announce that the CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed Multimedia Training is nearing completion and will ship by the end of June 2010. I’ll provide details on it below, including the ability for you to pre-order a copy. Please note that this is a pre-order and it will not ship until the end of June. If you choose to pre-order, you will be notified when it does ship. Asking me when your copy will ship or if your copy has shipped will only slow down the process for everyone.

As with the previous versions of CorelDRAW Unleashed, I had hoped to get them out much sooner. Yet I also want to make sure that I can deliver as much information as possible. When you see everything this training DVD offers, you’ll see that it deliver an amazing amount of value.

Let’s first go over some of the details of what you get. It starts with the full color, highly-illustrated 565 page ebook. There are also over ten hours of video tutorials to show you exactly how each feature works. There are also a bunch of other goodies included on the DVD including over 12,000 pieces of clip art, useful CorelDRAW macros and custom Dockers, sample files, Photoshop Plug-in filters and much more.

Previous editions were produced in Corel Ventura and I moved to Adobe InDesign with this edition. In some ways this was a step forward and in some ways a step backwards. Each program has its pros and cons. This meant I needed to design a template from the ground up and I think you’ll find this the most graphically appealing ebook we’ve ever offered. I also made some huge additions to features that are virtually unchanged in CorelDRAW X5. This gives you more information on getting the most from the existing features. Of course there is also an immense amount of information on features that are new and improved in CorelDRAW X5. Each of the tutorial movies is recorded in the 720p HD resolution so they show an even clearer view of the CorelDRAW screen. Go ahead and look at the full Table of Contents.

You may also notice that there are three separate products in the CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed family and this is only the first of the three to be nearing completion. If you do want all three and you want to save some money, we will be offering a bundle price in the future. Right now, we are only accepting pre-orders CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed. Should you order a copy now, you can order each of the other products when they become available.

We will make individual lessons from CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed available for purchase sometime in the future. While you will be able to purchase only the lessons of interest to you, buying the entire training DVD will be a much better value than purchasing just a few lessons separately.

When you checkout, you will be offered several payment methods. Should you choose either PayPal or Online Credit Card, your payment will go through immediately. Those who choose Offline Credit Card, Check or Money Order will not be charged (or cashed) until your copy is ready to ship. You will also be offered various shipping choices based on your location. No matter where you live in the world, there is an economical shipping choice for you.

As CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed nears completion, I’ll continue to provide more details. You can also find the latest details on the CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed product page.
