For my illustration class i have to design something, anything really, featuring my art. At first i thought of making a tarot card set, but now i'm not so sure i want to do that. Some other people are doing clocks, dishes, one girl's doing a chess set. I'll take any kind of suggestions.

a calender. it soesn't have to have a traditional layout either. something fresh and fun would be great.
or how about t-shirts. threre is that site that makes shirts from people's artork, right? hmm, I'll think of more. :)
edit: magnets!
-
Calendar: i've done a calendar before, and i did not enjoy doing it. I'm still trying to get that out of my head.
T-Shirts: I don't have the money or the know-how to silkscreen t-shirts, or the time to send out designs.

Why not a deck of playing cards? You have different art for each number of each suite.

Custom computer case.

Basically the same thing as tarot cards maybe?
-
The issue i had with the tarot cards was that there were one too many, and i wouldn't know if i should start with the major or minor arcana, or just pick cards at random. I thought of doing regular playing cards, but i couldn't think of enough interesting things to do with them.
-
Do you have any video game consoles?
If so you could try making custom cases for them. You'll probably have to remove the cases, so if you have one that has a warranty that's already run out, you won't void it.
-
Going with the cases idea, how about cd case covers?
-
hmm, shopping bags would be another idea. about the cards, do them as magic cards. (as in magic the gathering) You don't have to do a whole deck for that, and your collection will grow, just like a real deck.
get someone to sew a simple white quilt, and make iron on transfers for them.
how about a mobile. (one of those things that hangs above a babies head in a crib)
Or just make some funky big backdrop, and display them on that? (i said funky, ok, something catchy, out of the ordanary, creative)
-
how about frames or furniture (surely you can find an old chair which you can put into shape)?
or paint candles (but you need candle pens for this…)
-
I think right now i may lean more toward doing a calendar with my original characters. Possibly Bean and the rest of her lot.
-
there is such thing as candle pens?! I am excited!
-
You could do a postcard series…?
Or make up a movie poster, with all the credits and sponsors and everything... or you can put them in an advertisement of sorts, like a jeans commercial or something....
-
Yeah I like those ideas.
No offense to the posters who suggested it, but a PC/console case would be very lame, I think.

@Cap'n:

About that, i also lack the money to go out and buy a console/pc, and i don't have enough time to learn how to use the sealers/epoxy to keep paint from flaking off.

hey, well how about actual CD's just buy some blank ones, and get someone with a label maker, to print out labels for them? (just throwing out another idea)
