'''Microsoft Expression Design''' is [[Microsoft]]'s commercial professional illustration [[vector graphics editor|vector]] and [[raster graphics|raster]] graphic design tool for web images based on [[Creature House Expression]], which was acquired by [[Microsoft]] in 2003.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.creativemac.com/2003/11_nov/news/msch2031106b.htm | title=Update: Microsoft's Creature House Acquisition | publisher=[http://www.creativemac.com Creativemac.com] | date=November 6, 2003 | accessdate=February 28, 2012 | author=Nagel, David}}</ref> It is part of the [[Microsoft Expression Studio]] suite. Expression Design is more oriented towards editing [[XAML]] and web graphics rather than print graphics (like [[Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] and [[Adobe Illustrator|Illustrator]]) and does not incorporate all of the raster image editing features of the original [[Creature House Expression]].
 
Expression Design was codenamed '''''Acrylic''''' and was originally announced as '''''Expression Graphic Designer''''' until the current name was adopted in December 2006.
