Microsoft Expression Design is Microsoft's commercial professional illustration vector and raster graphic design tool based on Creature House Expression, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2003. It is part of the Microsoft Expression Studio suite and is written using Windows Presentation Foundation.
Expression Design was codenamed Acrylic and was originally announced as Expression Graphic Designer until the current name was adopted in December 2006.
Expression Design requires the .NET Framework 3.0 as it is written in Windows Presentation Foundation. Expression Design is only available as part of Expression Studio; it is not included in any MSDN subscription as it is purely a design tool, and it cannot be purchased individually.
Unlike the original Expression product, Expression Design will be only available for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista on the Windows platform. The Mac OS X version has been discontinued.
