Trying to mine the creative forces of my friend's list...

[shadowkitten87]

For my publication design class, we need to design a 16-page book (including front and back covers). And it needs to take a total of 3 weeks to design. And my school just lost its stock images account with Getty, and I'm a terrible photographer. Do you guys have any advice for brainstorming? Or maybe ideas? I'm not a terrible illustrator, but I'm not sure if I can manage 16 pages in 3 weeks...Hmmm....

Here are the ideas my teacher recommends:

-A Week in the Life of...
-Politically INcorrect
-Life in the Big City
-Blind Ambition...
-You Think That's Bad...
-Trash Versus Treasures
-A Fork in the Road...
-Did You Know?...

I need some help in getting my creative juices flowing. :/
