Page layout design is all about arranging text, images, and other elements to create a visually appealing and easy-to-read document. It’s like setting the stage for your content, making sure everything is in the right place so that it flows naturally and grabs the reader’s attention. Whether you’re working on a magazine, a website, or a brochure, a well-thought-out layout guides the reader’s eye, highlights key information, and enhances the overall reading experience. Good page layout design ensures that your message is not only seen but also understood and enjoyed.

05. Portrait Photography

Portrait photography is about capturing who someone really is in a single shot. It’s not just about taking a picture—it’s about freezing a moment that shows personality, emotion, and character. Whether it’s a relaxed, natural shot or a more posed and polished image, a great portrait tells a story about the person in front of the camera. It’s the kind of photo that makes you feel like you know the person just by looking at it. In the end, portrait photography is all about connecting with people and bringing out their true selves in a way that feels authentic and real.

06. Product Photography

Product photography is all about making your products look irresistible. It’s not just about snapping a picture—it’s about capturing the personality and details that make your product special. Good product photos show off your item’s best features. These images help customers imagine owning the product, which can make all the difference in their buying decision. In a world where first impressions matter, great product photography is like giving your product a voice that says, “Look at me!”

said. “Based on what they found, they can call it an arson.”

The ﬁre, which started at about 7 p.m. on Oct. 15, destroyed eight buildings at the Via Sorento Condominiums, under construction at 240 W. Juniper, just south of Guadalupe and Gilbert roads.

Thirty investigators have been working around the clock to conduct approximately 200 interviews, a systematic ﬁre-scene examination, a review of witness videos and photos and all viable accidental and natural ﬁre scenarios have been hypothesized, tested, and eliminated, according to a press release issued late Thursday afternoon by Gilbert. The press release said that damages are estimated at more than $10 million.

Authorities have posted a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone responsible for the ﬁre. D.R. Horton, the Texas-based builder that owns the project, has posted an additional $15,000 reward.

Ehrman said ﬁre investigators are still looking for tips from the public that would help them identify and interview a young man who was seen near the scene of the spectacular Via Sorento condominium ﬁre on Saturday night.

Gary Hildebrandt, a Gilbert Fire Department spokesman, said that the young man is considered a person of interest that authorities want to identify and interview, but that there is not enough evidence to consider him a suspect.

The person of interest was described as a white male, 16-22 years old, 5-feet-7 to 5-feet-10, wearing a maroon Arizona State University hoodie-style sweatshirt, dark shorts and Van’s-style shoes. He has shaggy, long brown hair just below his ears, long bangs and no facial hair.

“It could be related or totally

unrelated,” Hildebrandt said. “There were witnesses who said they saw an individual matching this description shortly before the ﬁre. We just want to talk to him.”

The ﬁre was so intense that it consumed a car nearby, melting the tires.

About 150 firefighters from the Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler and Superstition fire departments were able to save at least two buildings that were under construction on the north side of the complex and two on the south side that were nearly finished, Hildebrandt said.

Fireﬁghters also saved some occupied units to the south and evacuated about

20-25 residents Saturday night because of high levels of potentially deadly carbon monoxide in the area, he said. The residents were allowed to return home Sunday morning.

Some buildings at the scene were damaged but still standing, but others were reduced to a pile of rubble.

“We started evacuating and protecting the occupied apartments right away,” Hildebrandt said. “There was a very, very heavy ﬁre load because there was a lot of exposed wood. It was in the framing stage.”

The Via Sorento ﬁre was second in

Gilbert this year at a large apartment complex that was under construction.

The first one, the Civic Center fire, was on April 23. It was a much larger fire at a complex not far from Gilbert Town Hall, destroying 17 buildings.

Hildebrandt said an investigation eventually determined that the Civic Center ﬁre was accidental, caused by a construction worker who was using a torch while installing some rooﬁng.

Anyone with information is asked to call Gilbert Fire investigators at 480-503-6346or to email them at ﬁreinvestigations@gilbertaz.gov.

07. Photojournalism

This photo was my first attempt at Photojournalism, showing the terrifying aftermath of an arsonist’s attack on a condo in Gilbert, AZ. Flames rage through the building, sending thick, black smoke curling into the night sky. The structure, once a home to many, is now engulfed in fire, with parts of it collapsing under the heat. The image captures the chaos and heartbreak of the moment, a stark reminder of the destruction caused by a single, malicious act. This photo was published in the local newspapers, bringing the tragedy into sharp focus for the community.

As Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, Randy gave us some of the most memorable riffs in rock history, like the ones on “Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley.” His playing was both powerful and melodic, showing off his incredible skill and creativity.
