Creativity Challenge

Your challenge is to create 18 different ideas using 3 standard shapes! You will want to be completely different than your classmates!!! That means if you create a purple chicken and someone creates a yellow chicken you miss 1 because a chicken isn't very creative, even if it is a purple chicken!

We have all seen personalized license plates, I even have one. What if you could have a illustrated license plate? You job is to create 8 personalized license plates that visually tell me what you are. You will need to use your name for this assignment.
