The brief:
I had an MRI scan last week, which produced some astonishing images of the inside of my head - far clearer than I could ever have imagined. Apart from simply wanting to share this amazing technology with you, I thought it would be an interesting Challenge to colour it in - and perhaps to add any extra thoughts you feel may be needed in there.
Unusually, the starting piece this week takes the form of a movie: pick a frame or two from it that appeals to you. The movie is here. It goes rather fast, so you'll need to step through it to find a frame you like.

For those that don't know, Steve is currently in hospital suffering from a neurological disorder. This isn't permanent and he hopes to be bounding back into the forums within a week or so.
This, of course, presents us with a marvellous Friday Challenge opportunity: make Steve a get well soon card. Hopefully he will be fit and well enough to judge them next week!

If you're not familiar with Photoshop, the tools, from the top, are brush, magic wand, healing, type, move.

Judging by the amount of tv, press and poster advertising, this is the time of year when most of us start planning our summer breaks. Personally, I haven't even got around to taking the Christmas tree down yet.
So here's a view of the interior of a plane, which is just itching to be filled with a family in full holiday swing. It's a tricky one, this week: the lighting's definitely coming through the window, everything is in profile. Can you find the right bodies to populate this scene? Here's a hint: don't worry about the join between torso and legs if you have to combine body parts - just make sure something in the foreground covers the joins.

The pantomime is a big tradition at this time of year in the UK and, I think, in Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well - or so Wikipedia tells me. I was greatly intrigued by power and simplicity of Chris Berry's Jekyll & Hyde poster a few weeks ago, and thought we should try a similar approach this week.
So, your task is: design a poster for a theatrical production of Cinderella. Cram in ugly sisters, Prince Charming and a fairy godmother if you wish; but I think a lot could be done with a glass slipper and some effective typography.
