# Image Challenge vote
This week's challenge is ready for your input.

Your choices are:

* Wilkinson Sword Crisps? Harpic Liqueur? Cadbury Fish Fingers? Show us some unlikely brand crossovers

* Optical Illusions: design your own or adapt others (celebrity suggestion from Dr Ben Goldacre)

* Invent a new animal: Play God, and come up with something new

* New uses for old people: with our population getting older, we're going to have to come up with new ways to exploit the aged. Show us how

A is good but been done.
B could go either way.
C is /board any day of the last 10 years
D seems too limited in scope, though it will just end up "Photoshop old people", which might be okay.
