    Modeling and composing objects in Expression Design

    Transactions between the tracks

    To easily create new forms we can use complex logic operations between the tracks. Drawing two overlapping objects can, through the Object menu> path operations, for example, create a full form by the two paths (union), subtract the shape in the foreground than the background (or vice versa), or even create intersection of the objects to a form, and finally, we can divide the forms so that cutting through each other. Again, we can use the action panel in the "Paths" to perform the same tasks.

    Scissors tool

    The instrument used scissors to break up the tracks in different parts, as if carving out a tape with scissors. The closed paths become open, splitting into as many parts as the cuts that we will.

    Envelope Distort

    The envelope distortion function allows us to deform an object by moving the points of a special grid that is superimposed. Select an object on command and go Object> Envelope Distort> Make a group of distortion. We shall see the grid on our object, and now, with the Direct Selection tool, we can move the nodes of the grid: the object will be deformed accordingly. If we want a grid with more or less modified nodes, we use the Object> Envelope Distort> resolution Increase or decrease resolution.

    We mean by "stretch" the outer edge of an object, its outline. The section is also what defines the area of coverage. To manipulate the stroke of an object must first select it, then click on "Section" of the Appearance pane. The first characteristic that we examine is the thickness, which is what determines the width of the stroke. You can set, after selecting the item, the item from the Appearance panel thickness, and is measured in pixels. To make an object appear with no boundary, just wipe out the thickness, so as to make it invisible. The second key characteristic is the color of a stretch. Selected an object, we can set the stroke color from the Appearance panel. Let's take a look at the settings panel:
    • Red bar - Remove the stroke color, makes it clear
    • Full Color Box - Sets the stretch so that it has a solid color
    • Gradient Box - Turn on the color shaded tract
    • Palette samples - Shows a set of predefined colors that can be assigned to treatment with a simple click, the drop-down box on the right lets you choose one of the pallets and other samples available from Expression Design
    • Spin boxes - They allow you to specify a color numerically in the space currently selected color
    • Color Space Codes - Click them you can choose the color space in which to work
    • Hex Box - allows you to assign a color in RGB notation Web Indicator of the current color
    • Indicator of the initial color - Indicates the color that had the stretch before making changes today
    • Dropper - Then click and drag anywhere in the window of Expression Design, we take the current color from the color of the cursor point with just one click
    • Color Palette - It allows, thanks to a straight flush to its right to choose a color and assign it to stretch with a click

    Expression Design makes available a wide range of types, enabling us to implement features that mimic paintbrushes, watercolors, spatulas, oil and even many other subjects, such as arrows and graphics. To apply a particular type of stroke to an object, we must first select it and then choose the type of treatment you want from the drop-down box visible in the color palette. There are still a few features of the stroke, aspects that can be set by clicking on the tab "Show advanced properties". This is first and foremost on the joint and the type of end that we possess the stretch here are some examples of the choices available in the respective drop down boxes. To apply a hatch will suffice to mark the box and set the distance in pixels between a hyphen and another.

    Re: Modeling and composing objects in Expression Design

    I would like to discuss about the characteristics of the filling. The fill is the interior of an object, the area bounded by the stroke. We can decide to remove it to get a transparency, or give it a solid color, a gradient, or repeated image (a pattern). To operate the filling of an object, select it and then click on the icon of the Appearance panel filling. To remove all of the fill to an object we need to click on the red bar in the Appearance panel. To assign a full-color coverage must do so through the Appearance panel, using the Swatches palette, the boxes or digital color palette. All these methods work just like the color assignment. To assign an image filling must click on the corresponding box on the Appearance panel, you can choose between different pattern image made available from Expression Design clicking the arrow next to the Swatches palette and going under Categories> Pictures fill color. You can also use any image as a pattern on your PC by clicking the "Import ..."
