Graphic Designer
The graphic designer is a tool like Adobe photoshop. You can use pixel and vector based image, apply some effects and use layers to make great looking images.
Interactive Designer
This tool can be used to build fancy application based on WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). You can add 3D objects or convert you bitmaps to 3D objects and use a lot of effects on the vector based images.
Expression Web
More and more we build website where the look and feel must change by month or season. Therefore CSS is great to use and give your website a nice look and feel. But most of the time is building this CSS and testing and previewing and making it multiple browser compatible is a hell. Expression Web solves this problem, easy to create CSS and preview.
