For this week’s Sunday Funnies, I decided to use a quote by Mark Twain.

Credits:
“Top 100 Inspirational Quotes.” Forbes. Forbes Magazine, 28 May 2013. Web. 22 Mar. 2015.

I read this book a while ago but this quote was the one that came to my mind when I first heard about this assignment. I feel that this quote is really motivating and although it was very difficult, and I ran into many problems during the process,  I had a lot of fun illustrating this project.

Quote Reference:

Posada, Joachim De., and Ellen Singer. Don’t Eat the Marshmallow– Yet!: The Secret to Sweet Success in Work and Life. New York: Berkley, 2005. Print.

For this Sunday Funnies assignment, I chose a quote by Arthur Ashe.

“Success is a journey, not a destination.”

-Arthur Ashe

I chose this quote by Socrates for my  Sunday Funnies Assignment because it really made me think. Often times we do not let ourselves try something because we do not think that we are ‘supposed’ to do that. Or, when we do go to something or see something we are left disappointed because we pictured it turning out differently or being different. I chose these photos to portray this quote because the one on the left was of my high school tennis team in 2013 when we were at the semi-finals of our state tournament. We took this photo as a joke and did end up losing the match (the photo and losing have nothing to do with each other). But, the photo on the right is us after we won our regional tournament for the first time in six years. If we don’t think that we can beat a certain team, we don’t but when we do take a risk and don’t have expectations, we are able to accomplish everything.

Quote by Thomas Jefferson.

For this week’s Sunday Funny, I chose a quote by Thomas Jefferson that really speaks to who I am.  I personally hate feeling like I am not being productive; therefore, I intend to spend every minute of my life doing something.

I chose this quote because I wanted to convey that all things are impossible if you don’t even make an attempt in my Sunday Funny.I thought that the progression of climbing a mountain and finally making it to the summit exemplified this idea. If a person doesn’t try to climb the mountain then they will never reach the top.

I got this quote from a quote nook on my desk, but I’ll cite it from a  website just in case.

The flickr images said a simple name would be enough for credit to be due.

I decided to use a quote from the 2006 movie V for Vandetta. This scene can be found here. I chose this quote because I really thought it used very clever diction to produce a very eloquent and smart speech. I first recorded myself saying this speech using quicktime player, and then uploaded to animoto. I then uploaded photos to go along with the speech. I used the following photos-

• the magician
• Lost & alone
• Batman
• TRP: Portrait with the Electro 35
• Heroes
• fist in the air ….
• RAT KING
• evil from the dark
• Evil plans
• Freedom… and now?
