First year Salford.
Not liking the project as of yet everyone I initially choose couldnt be 'recognised at a glance' so I did the whole celebrity list thing, but like yourself wanted to do something little different not just the old (boring) lets mask some text using the image.
Went to Urbis tother day looking at that Graffiti exhibition which made me start thinking about graffiti and that whole style.
Dunno yet, think I might make some doodles and see where I go.
