The computer is an indispensable tool in the graphic design industry. For professional graphic designers, computers and their software applications are generally more effective tools for artistic creativity than traditional methods. Using a computer requires training to allow the user to focus on the design and not the tool, which would move the designer through the creative process more quickly, but the complexity of the computer can hinder this process by making the focus move from the product to the technology, and this is what we can see happening in many cases. Sometimes designs are appreciated not for their quality, but for the digital techniques used to express the design. In many cases, the designer is good at working on one application, but when the situation requires him to work on another application, he encounters a problem, which is the difficulty of learning the new application after getting used to the first application. This study comes to shed light on two of the most famous graphic design applications. This study aims to reveal aspects of similarities and differences between the two applications by comparing work in the environments of the two applications and comparing the menus and toolboxes of the two applications. The researchers followed observation and comparison through the experience of working in the two applications, where the The most prominent data of the research is that the terms and concepts in (Adobe Illustrator) and (Corel Draw) differ in some features. In some cases, the features may be the same in both applications but described using a different term. In other cases, Corel Draw uses new terms and concepts that have no equivalent in Adobe Illustrator.
