How to get started with real time project ?

Question

I want to became the desktop application developer. So i learned C programming as my first language and data structure and algorithm with C and then java and GUI with java swing. And i learned Modern System Analysis and Design using Jeffrey A. Hoffer's book. Now i think its a time to create some project to get some experience.

I want to create something fully functional with documentation by using each and everything i learned. I want to cover each and everything of SDLC phase from planning to maintenance. With documentation and reports of each phase such as DFD, ER-D etc .

So is there anything that helps me to convert my knowledge to something. I don't have any confusion about which project should i choose ? All i need is any template, tutorial or any guide which covers each and everything :)
And after some project i will move to Java FX.
