It is very interesting to see what things can be done with and which things have already been manifested as ready-to-use packages. It is also challenging to condense the possibilities of a package into an ad-like image of a defined size.

As always: help is welcome!

The CTAN packages page. Package teasers pass by. Currently visible: jflap2tikz, scsnowman, and pst-bezier.
