Install wine from the software center.

Check out these link after that.
WineHQ provides all kinds of information and tests on applications that works and dont work.

You never mentioned what versions of the apps you use:

CorelDraw:

I'm guessing with "Adobe Suit" you meant photoshop:

Doesnt look too rosy. There is Gimp which is a native app and runs pretty well. If you REALLY need to run the apps you could run a virtual system and install Windows there (You WILL need a license and install media for this) which will run Windows inside Linux (quite a bloat but will work) or you could dual boot.

If the main purpose of the system is to use the Windows apps you described then Windows may simply be the better option for you.
