Galaxy phone upgrade from A16 5G

I've been seriously considering upgrading from my 4GB 128GB Samsung Galaxy A16 5G because, yeah, it has only 4 GB of RAM. It also experiences severe lag issues when performing simple tasks, such as booting and running certain apps that I typically use for school and workflow. I still want a mid-range phone, but one with better specs and a little around the same price as this one. Someone suggested the M35, but I'm open to other options as well.

I tried something fun today...

DISCLAIMER: I do not have any intention to promote politics or what the design is implying, and it is just for educational and creative purposes. I strongly oppose and condemn the use of generative AI.

I checked out AI posters and how their repetitive ai typically is when it comes to creating posters, and had an idea to create one in Affinity. Here's a screenshot of the layers that I edited it on my own, and the image used on the background. Tell me what you think!

Concept Album Cover Critics

I made this concept album cover yesterday and had difficulties adding things to it because I had no idea on what to add. I would've shared it here yesterday but I had a certain karma-restriction (I have a fairly new account)

Anyway, for this specific design, I was aiming for an illusion for the large element at the bottom so it would convey two messages at the same time regarding proximity and perspective. I would highly appreciate reviews and critics about it, and maybe an interpretation of what the messages might mean. Thank you!

EDIT: Here's the concept... it's basically about two polar sides of a situation. The unused blank space was to signify isolation. For the silhouette figure, i had it convey two messages; they're falling (red motion blur) to show defeat, and they're glowing in white to show their purity. For the bottom element, it can be viewed as a pit to go in line with the red motion blur so it can complement it as final defeat, and at the same time, you can interpret it as a mountain peak, to go in line with the purity part.

First time designing these type of posters

I don't even know what this design style is called, but I always liked the way they looked at an overall perspective. Here's my first one. Any thoughts and critics shall be appreciated!

'The bless of the installer disk failed' error when creating a bootable with an Internal partition.

Mac Mini Late 2012 (Macmini 6'2), OCLP 2.4.1, currently running MacOS Ventura 13.7.8

I want to upgrade to Sonoma, so I downloaded the stable version from Mr. Macintosh's website: https://mrmacintosh.com/macos-sonoma-full-installer-database-download-directly-from-apple/

Sonoma 14.7.8 Build 23J520. I ran the InstallAssistant.pkg file smoothly and had the installer set. I then made a 20GB MacOS Extended (Journaled) partition off my 500GB SSD internal drive, and named it MyVolume.

Now here's the issue:

When I tried to create a bootable MacOS installer from OCLP, it says 'No disks found'.

Due to this, I then proceeded to the Apple support page for the Terminal command for Sonoma, and when I run it, it brings me the error attached.

I looked for a solution at a certain reddit comment who suggested to grant Full Disk Access to both OCLP and Terminal. I did that but to no avail. I would be grateful to receive support and guidance towards this issue. Thank you.

EDIT: Also for anyone wondering, I don't have a USB at my disposal, and I installed the Ventura through the internal partition method. I don't understand why it's bringing an error now with Sonoma.
