Meme Forum!

Meme Forum

For this assignment, I would say before and after completing the meme, I knew it would be my favorite activity to do in this class. I love memes, and have been interested in them ever since middle school. Even in high school, I downloaded Adobe Photoshop on my phone and made a few memes regarding some drama in my school and posted them on social media. 

Using Photoshop on my laptop, I started by selecting two photos that I could merge for the meme. I used a picture of my favorite artist, Playboi Carti, sleeping in the studio. I added the notorious troll face since Carti is known for trolling his fans and I thought it was fitting. It has been 2 years since he has released an album, so fans are eager to hear his new music which is dropping very soon. I cropped the outline of the Troll Face by using the selection tool and added it to the layer with the sleeping Carti picture. Like the videos told me, I made the troll face a smart filter so I could move it around and edit the picture to fit! Next, I added a text box filling in text and using 72 size font, since it is the biggest available. Also, I used the Impact text style, since it is used in most memes for text. I really enjoyed this assignment since I could be very creative and use ideas that are interesting to me. The instructional videos were by far the most useful tool, as I used it as a step by step directions. These videos helped me as well since I could figure out what went wrong if I messed something up on my pics, and could go back and see what the professor did and fix the wrong!
