: Can anyone throw me some photograph ideas? In my graphic design course, we have been set a brief which requires us to go out and take 50 photographs of things that relate to this list of

Try using a dictionary and thesaurus to give a start to ideas.
You can also go the other way from Vicki's suggestion above and be very 'Staged' - Set up some shoots (think about the type of graphics you see on graphics/photo libraries and be obvious - i.e. A guy in a T-shirt that says 'Peter')

Sounds like a fun brief!

You could try a different approach to fill in the rest of your list.

Instead of trying to think of specific things to photograph, you could walk around town and take pictures of everything interesting you could find, focusing on things that are normally ignorable; the way the top of a building looks against the sky when you look strait up at it, trash on the street, plants growing in between cracks in the sidewalk, people back-lit by the sun, an empty parking lot, etc.

Take a TON of shots, and then pick ones to match up to your remaining list of words.

This approach would be similar to if you were working with a client and you didn't have the luxury of hiring a photographer to take specific photos to fit your design perfectly, and you had to sort through stock photos to pick what fits best.
