Creating a Fiery Poster for “Bowsette”: A Fun and Exciting Journey Working on this poster design for "Bowsette" was an absolute thrill! The song has such a unique, playful, and mischievous vibe that it immediately sparked a ton of creative ideas.

First,  using a tripod for stability  has been a game  changer. It  ensures that even the tiniest movements don't blur my images.    Focusing manually  gives me the precision that autofocus sometimes  misses  in close  up shots. I've learned to use a  narrow aperture  to  maximize  depth of field, bringing more of the tiny  subject into sharp focus.       Lighting  is cruci...
