Serif Draw Plus 5 is a cheap drawing solution like it's partner, Page Plus 7, from Serif but it's difficult to say what category the software should be in!

It is primarily a vector drawing program with more than a hint of desktop publishing about it. It comes with numerous designs for cards, business publications etc but has all the tools for creating graphics on a 'dot to dot' sort of style. Normal dtp page layout can be carried out in the program so posters and other publications can be output.

It is an easy program to use but is not an essential purchase but is a useful addition to your collection if you already have Page Plus 7. It can do vector drawing that Page Plus 7 can't.

As I have said in my Page Plus 7 opinion if you want the program then get it direct from Serif - you'll save money!
