Ya know, this is really funny.
Someone who is in this business, but hasn't a clue as how to do something, wants to find out without putting any effort forward... it's utterly ludicrous.
I would sooner think someone entering the ranks of being a sign shop and advertising as such, would have a handle of doing most things and might need a bit of help here or there, but not a step-by-step detailed tutoring session. Someone which has been in this industry or at least a member here for over 6 years, I just think would have more on the ball.
My answer would be the same as bob’s. Give enough information and let the person learn. No one learns better than when doing it for themselves. Being spoon fed the information just enables the OP to never get it right. Why should I learn it, if these people will do it for me everytime I ask ??
More than likely, the OP could find this simply by using the ‘search’ button, I’ll bet.

Art! Hot and fresh.
That is what I thought.
I will do a tutorial in corel tommorrow if I get the time to do so. Pretty simple though. as others have said, curve the text, distort the perspective to angle the text inwards at the top some, make a perspective shadow layer (about 54 ways to do that), outline text and shadow in white, surrounding border on it all. ... oh and 'football' is just a cutout of a banner shape that is welded to the surrounding border.

Argh! so I did. But Mr. Google is so intuitive that he figured out what I meant anyway.

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
Probably so; if you can do it then it can't be all that difficult.
But then are you suggesting that doing some trivial and singular software task, and it is trivial, is comparable to wrangling an entire power production system no doubt occupying acres? Even so I'd give you good odds that I could do it.

oam with gino! " Ya know, this is really funny.
Someone who is in this business, but hasn't a clue as how to do something, wants to find out without putting any effort forward... it's utterly ludicrous."
seems to be the people who are all getting into this business.
i started with computers and COREL 3....in 1992. now there was no signs 101 or anyone who could tell me how to use the program. so armed with nothing more then determination..........i discovered on my own, how to make my roland plotter cut directly from corel draw!!!!! i also figured out how to cut larger object in the restrictive 30" x 30" corel desktop. not untill version 7 was the desktop increased to 150 ft x 150 ft.
i also was able to learn how to cut drop shadows in corel before they had the command in the program.
i always tell people who wnat to know what corel can do.........i tell pick a version, spent 2-3 years working with it...and you might have a good idea of all it can do!!!!
