this project maybe not suitable for beginner but as 4th yr student i must do this project for my 'final yr project'.. unfortunately this project goes to me.. i already do research about this title and usually peoples use microcontroller to implement this project

A micro makes more sense for this project and it would usually be much easier than a FPGA design. But it depends on the output interface. A microcontroller can easily drive an LCD module, but it usually can't drive a VGA interface without extra hardware.

You can still implement this with an FPGA. But first learn the basics, then move on to the specifics of your project.
