Default Graphic Products at GCSE - help!

Hi there ,

I am currently in year 11 at school and having a tad bit of trouble with my graphics course.

my project is based on Pirates of the Caribbean and I have to create a DVD cover design using photoshop.

I am really struggling with ideas, can anyone help me?
I've looked at existing POTC DVD covers but I can not think up anything that even compares

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Have you got many images to work with?

hi I've found some nice shots such as this



but other than that i cannot think what type of images to include on the cover and how to arrange them in a similar way to the original POTC cover without copying

:(

I havent watched POTC for a while so you will have to remind who the character in the photo above is fighting against....

Could you posible have one person from "team A" looking like the guy above is and a person from "team B" looking directly at the other one with a lightning strike down the middle? or just two photos of each "team" seperated by a lightning strike?

how cliche...

Pirates always had their own pirate flag. Why not play on that? Do something with a Capt Jack pirate flag?

You clearly own too many wrestling DVDs.
