Microsoft has launched Expression Studio 4, which is the newest version of Redmond’s professional design suite. Microsoft Expression Studio 4 will aid designers and web developers in building user interfaces for the Web, desktop, and devices. Expression Studio 4 has been designed in a way so that your work becomes much more simpler and organised.
The company has come up with three versions of Expression Studio 4: Web Professional, Premium, and Ultimate editions.
While the Web Professional version has features like the Expression Web, Design, and Encoder programs, the Expression Studio 4 Premium has an updation of the Blend feature. If we talk about the Expression Studio 4 Ultimate, then it has the latest version of SketchFlow.
Microsoft has made the Expression toolset even more attractive by adding the
search engine optimisation feature to it. However, the toolset will not support a video codec that is being touted by Google as the doorway to an open media format effort.
Jon Harris, senior product manager for Expression Studio was quoted as saying, “The Web team has built a search engine optimization program to look at application design and code and make suggestions on changes that could enhance search engine optimization.”
The Expression tools that come in the three configurations of the suite are the: Web, for
Web design; Blend, for UI design; Encoder, for video encoding; and Design, a tool for for building UI elements or graphics to be transferred to the Web or Blend tools.
