Potential idiom concepts

I've spent the last few days generating ideas for the direction of the illustrated idioms. I have considered creating a short story told through the idioms, I would begin to research into how to write a short narrative, devise characters and setting. By looking into folk tales, Shakespeare, children's books and film I could look to adapt a simplistic story embedded with morals and explain using idioms and the accompanying illustration.

Another idea, I could take news articles in various newspapers and apply idioms to the story. "A Leopard cannot change its spots" for example could be applied to the President of Egypt. Then I could look to apply idioms throughout newspaper and perhaps devise my own newspaper which would give me freedom to work with typography and layout.
