.venv: is a virtual environment in python.
an isolated workspace where we can install packages for just this project without affecting our system wide or other projects.
scripts/(activation scripts for windows).
bin/(activation scripts for Linux/macOS.
lib/ (it contains installed packages).
pyvenv.cfg ->configuration file

static folders: are assets that don't change-like css, javascript and images used in front-end or styling.
global level static folder is used across all apps whereas app-level keeps them tied to the app they belong to.

it is configured in the settings.py as:
STATIC_URL='static/'

media folder: are the content user uploaded as profile picture, videos, docs. stored in global media/ folder.
MEDIA_URL='media/'

A clean folder structure makes collaboration easier and keeps our project professional.
