Using Gimp or a similar program, create a public service announcement billboard on something that really aggravates you about people, society, the world, etc. It can be serious, goofy, but not offensive. Use a 680 x 300 work space in order to mimic the space of a billboard and have fun with how your positioning, font, colors, and images can help get your message across in a small space.
Take it to the next level but superimposing it on a photo of an existing billboard!
You just came up with a million dollar idea! It’s crazy! Design a mock-up to show potential investors to entice them to join your entrepreneurial venture for a most unlikely product.

Take a popular figure from politics, education, that you would not expect to be there, on the cover of a teen fan magazine. Bonus points if the cover includes a heart throb of initials JB and a lot of pink color. Re-edit the text as well to blend them into the style of the magazine.
