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.

My font selection and placement helps to convey the mood of the quote because I made the words look like a sun over the ocean. Yes,this is my own photo.

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 mood of the quote was about how to be a hero and some tips on how to win fights against evil which has a villain in the picture about to attack

The quotes on the dragon all say "Turn us away, and we will burn you first." It's a quote from Game of Thrones and it completes the design of the dragon. I used my own graphics. I used this bolder font with everything in caps lock to convey the aggression usually linked to dragons.

3. The placement of the text represent what each ring on the creature means.
4. The creature is of my own design.

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.
Original Quote: "Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep moving!" Sam Levenson

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.

The background was suppose to convey a mysterious mood with all the question marks. The original quote "No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye." is by Elizabeth Bowen.

Text bent around the planet to show the gravitational pull.
FIFAP set in space to really put power behind the idea

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.

this quote was from a character from the anime known as "Death Note"

a quote from William Shakespeare. the font was to give it a old timey feel. the colors of black and white were too show a vast contrast between life and death.

I chose this font because it looks like the kind of font you'd see on a fancy calculator. The text is in a spiral-like shape because the spiral makes it look artsy and interesting, as well as the fact that math can be confusing at times.
The graphics are mine, all pen-tooled.

Grades are in for this.
