In the era of the digital revolution websites play vital roles in enhancing businesses by connecting new customers in the world. In Microsoft Expression Design, it is very easy to create modern standard based web sites, streaming video, and Web graphics. It is used for optimizing photos and images to add to websites and other creative endeavors.

Here I am creating a Photo Frame Using Expression Design and presenting to you as an article hoping that it may be useful for you.
  1. Open Microsoft Expression Design 4 and click on tab File -> New to open a new document, rename the document as "PhotoFrame" setting the height = width= 480.

  2. Select a rectangle from the toolbar and draw it with same height and width as of your document.
  3. Change the properties of your rectangle

    In the properties pane -> Appearance choose fill property and click on the More swatches dropdown arrow which is behind the colors. A list of different color designs occurred.
