The Fun and Challenges of Designing Ads for the Festival of Lights Designing three distinct advertisements for the Festival of Lights —an 8.5 x 11" Full-Page Magazine Ad, an 8.5 x 5.5" Half-Page Ad, and a 2000 x 2000px Instagram/Facebook Ad—was a creative and rewarding journey.

Learning About Macro Photography Key Takeaways This week has been a deep dive into the intricate world of macro photography, and I've gathered some essential tips and tricks to elevate my shots. 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...
