OK,
so my theory is that if a student CAN make a really neat visual aid like 3-D that really ties in, then the teacher usually will be stunned and on the teacher recommendation form, give you a high score on creativity.
Any really neat ideas?

What's your subject for the project?

well if you take a bust and design it to look like the person you are studying and fill the inside of the head with symbolic representations of important events/ or thoughts in the person's life this could be interesting (although it is somewhat rudimentary) I dunno, being creative doesn't have a formula the best thing to do is to gather the info, relax and figure out an engaging way to present it(take into account the maturity level of your class).

GOOD LUCK

Make fancy visual aids only if they're useful and help to communicate your point. Note that they're called visual AIDS. Emphasis on the aid part. As in they're there for a reason, namely, to help people understand the topic.
There's nothing that annoys me more than seeing gratuitous lame posters and such, made just for extra marks. If it doesn't need to be there, it shouldn't be. I mean, if you can do it so that it adds an interesting perspective, then by all means. But if it's just so that you can wow your teacher and avoid having to do as good a job on the rest of the project, then ick.
By the way, I'm not accusing you or anything; it actually sounds like your visual aid will be a useful one, since you made a point of saying that it will "tie in." I'm just speaking generally about something that gets on my nerves. Sorry about that.

are you just asking for ideas so that you can make a list? if so. why? are you not creative...isn't there a rule about homework help.
