Some possible ideas:  a painting, a mobile, a diorama, a skit, commercial, a movie, a dance, a mock newspaper article, a power-point, a music video, a poem, the first chapter of a sequel, a 3-D model, a handmade costume, a floor plan, a map, a model of a house or building, a baked-dish, a collage, etc…
