(For the next part of the homework, feel free to either create new photomontages or refine the existing ones)
Continue enhancing your Social Campaign by adding vector elements such as text, shapes, patterns, and illustrations to your photo collage. Experiment with copying, pasting, resizing, and positioning different vector shapes in Illustrator until you find a composition that best conveys your theme.
