Expression Blend goes Beta, Big Changes to Expression Design CTP

  • Article

Today we are going public with beta 1 of Expression Blend, and a new CTP for Expression Design. Before you ask – these are the new product names for what previously was known as Expression Interactive Designer and Expression Graphic Designer.

Much more importantly, these new versions are not just about new names. If you have seen the previous evolutions of these Expression applications, a single look will show you that we've been working hard on more than new features:

Expression Blend and Design are the first Expression applications to show off a new user interface design for the entire Expression product line. We want to offer friendlier, easier, more elegant and beautiful tools to enable designers to build great user experiences – and our UX is a big step in this journey.

We can’t wait for you to give our new family a spin and to let us know what you think.
