Make an animated .gif of something pop-culture centric. This could be animating a celebrity, part of a music video, or a TV show/movie. It doesn’t even have to be from today… head back into the annals of history and pull out something that used to be pop culture back in its day.
For best effect, I suggest using at least 4 frames to create the animation.
Improve movie posters to make them more accurately reflect the content of the film. Inspired entirely by theshiznit.co.uk

Make a super-hero origins strip about your online persona, or the persona of someone else. You might want to use Pixton (http://www.pixton.com) – you might want to use something else, or draw it freehand if you are super-talented.
