The quote I used is "You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else." I used my own graphics. I made the chess board and the wooden table texture background. I made my quote in the shape of some chess pieces. I've seen many pictures of quotes or comparisons of life and the game of chess, so that gave me inspiration to put this quote with a chess game. I used slanted, formal curve font to form the shape of the pieces better.

The typeface (along with all other visual elements utilized) was used to contribute to the classical Esperanto aesthetic. The classic font is reminiscent of Esperanto novels, and the aliased typeface is reminiscent of the stone age of the computer er (in which many prominent Esperanto sites have graphically yet to climb from...).

The words before hand is'nt as organic looking as "hand." Hand was supposed to be the impact using more of a handdrawn sort of font making it look more organic than the rest.
These graphics are mine but the shading looks weird because I used another layer to dim the background so the words and picture can pop out more

The size and shape of the text helps give the stopwatch dimension by growing from a smaller size as it wraps around. The color change for "Keep moving" is to emphasize what the quote wants you to do. All graphics were made by me.

The quote is from the song, "I Sat By the Ocean" by Queens of the Stone Age and i put the words by the ocean and the sunset. It's all just sitting by the ocean, I guess and that is what I did to represent the quote. The reflection of the sun is repeating part of the quote, showing it's the same thing I guess, I don't know. I made the graphics myself.

I chose the quote “Art Is Never Finished, only Abandoned.” by Leonardo Da Caprio. I chose the infinity symbol, which is found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_symbol, to convey the quote.
