Design a Quote

I found this exercise at Flex Your Design Muscles With These 10 Creative Exercises | Design Shack it is number 1 on the list.

Instructions:

Everyone has a few inspirational mantras that serve as a perk-me-up when things start to drag. Combine one of those messages with great imagery or using beautiful typography and create a social media background image or desktop wallpaper. (These designs are really popular on social media and many of them are not visually pleasing; find one you hate and make it better.)

1. Find an inspirational quote. (Not sure where to start? Try one of these.)
2. Add a background image, texture or favorite color.
3. Typeset using a typeface you've been wanting to use or create custom lettering by hand.

I like the quote:

"I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do. Behavior never lies." -- Winston Churchill
