Learn Microsoft Expression

Nolan Hester

Packed with more than 600 screenshots, the book goes beyond crafting good-looking single pages. Instead, it shows you how to use templates to generate whole sites with uniform, yet creative, layouts that can be reconfigured with the click of a button. You'll also learn how to give sites extra polish with interactive behaviors and forms.

Aimed at professional graphic designers and illustrators-and also software developers who want to design Microsoft Vista user interfaces using Graphic Designer's xaml formatting-the book offers real-world techniques and case studies for achieving professional results. It provides coverage on creating compound paths, applying strokes and fills to paths, converting vectors to pixels, creating custom gradients, and much more. Graphic Designer is said to be more powerful than Illustrator while incorporating many of the creative tools found in Painter and Photoshop.
