Vaughn PollmanGUEST
You can take a design concept or a graphic idea and convert it into a functional good without knowledge of graphic software.
Vaughn PollmanGUEST
You or I do not need to learn Photoshop or Illustrator or CorelDRAW, and I can produce a print-ready graphic now through an AI tool.
Vaughn PollmanGUEST
And that's not something that was possible until very recently.
Vaughn PollmanGUEST
So I think makers and creators and artists, they don't have to jump through as many hoops or have as steep of a learning curve to take a concept good and make it come to life.
Tasker SmithGUEST
And so my job is really to take these highly technical concepts and try to clarify them for students so they can understand them.
Tasker SmithGUEST
And some of them are esoteric, but the tools that I use tend to be, like I'll use Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW, which are sort of vector-based platforms for drawing illustrations.
Tasker SmithGUEST
So I do a lot of that in my day job.
Tasker SmithGUEST
And so it's kind of a natural thing.
Ashley WyattGUEST
But it's if you're using it as a tool, like, I think a lot of designers and creatives, like, if you're not using it, and you're not adapting, you're not jumping on board, you're kind of gonna be washed out, right? Looking at, like, the internet, and, like, the evolution of the internet, like, people who were afraid of it got washed out, basically, right? That's just the way of our times.
Ashley WyattGUEST
And even looking at the evolution of design in general too, even Adobe, um, Creative Suite, before that was even a thing, there was, like, CorelDRAW.
Ashley WyattGUEST
There was literally...
Ashley WyattGUEST
So this comes back to, like, my background of, like, my dad being in the industry too.
Terry WangGUEST
So you probably still remember Corel.
Terry WangGUEST
If you remember WordPerfect or CorelDRAW, like we were, we were there.
Brian BellHOST
So today,
Terry WangGUEST
today, right now we're recording this in early August.
Tola T.A. AlabiHOST
I told him, what do I need to get into this thing? And he told me, get a computer.
Tola T.A. AlabiHOST
You need a computer to start with and you need CorelDRAW.
Tola T.A. AlabiHOST
And I said, where do I get CorelDRAW? He said, well, I don't stay in Abuja.
Tola T.A. AlabiHOST
We're here in Lagos.
Tola T.A. AlabiHOST
We can get it in different places.
Tola T.A. AlabiHOST
Just go to a market in Abuja.
Tola T.A. AlabiHOST
So I remember going the next day to a supermarket.
Tola T.A. AlabiHOST
And I said, do you have CorelDRAW? And they said, what was that? I said, CorelDRAW is what you use to do graphic design.
Brigid AshwoodGUEST
Right.
Brigid AshwoodGUEST
So I got the one that was the screen and you're looking where you're painting, right? And it was painful, even though I had a leg up with doing graphic design and knowing Photoshop and CorelDRAW and the vector, but...
Brigid AshwoodGUEST
I knew pixel programs and I knew vector programs, but then I went to Corel for Corel Painter and I learned Corel Painter and loved that.
Brigid AshwoodGUEST
And when I started it, my personal goal was to become a Corel Painter master someday.
AJGUEST
In graphic design, I found my passion.
AJGUEST
I mean, not my passion, my passion and also my hate, which was CorelDRAW.
AJGUEST
Then I moved myself into web design.
AJGUEST
And then UX design.
