This clip is shorter and more action packed - so it should be quicker and easier to do.

Remember to include details on the representation of Peter Parker as a teenager.

Creative challenge - A themed music mix


Your task is to create a themed mix of music. The mix can tell a story, evoke a mood or represent a facet of your personality. You choose - it just needs to be themed.

There are a few guidelines to keep in mind:
  • Theme your mix. No mix without a theme will be accepted.
  • 90 minutes absolute max. CD's are dying but restraints are good.
  • To present your mix use Spotify, Apple music (or other similar service) or burn to a CD.
  • Email me the link or hand me the CD.
  • Include a cover image. You must have some sort of artwork.
  • Remember, make it great.
  • There is a lot of this sort of thing on Pinterest and Tumblr - I'll leave you to discover those.
  • There will be prizes for the best mixes and artwork.
