The design imaging class according to me means working on adobe illustrator, adobe photoshop and in design collectively.
Adobe illustrator which uses vector graphics .Whereas adobe photoshop uses raster graphics.Illustrator as well as photoshop helps in manipulating images, used for poster making, images etc.
In the first class of imaging , we learnt about how to use Illustrator, various tools and its working of illustrator

- The lasso tool (Q) – it helps to select specific areas on an art board be it image, object, figure or shape
