are often meant to be funny by making a joke, pun or by pointing out
the irony of a situation. The tone of a meme itself can also be ironic. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Memes are created with the intention of being shared and spread through the internet and therefore </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">should have the following: </span></span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">A specific message intended for a specific audience</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">Text that supports the image(s) and vice versa</span></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">It makes sense that most memes utilize the font style called "impact" - in order to make a meme that people will want to share online, you have to create one that has both visual and textual (written) impact. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: auto;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">So keeping that all in mind, let's take a look at some examples of memes below and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">determine are they a meh meme (not much impact) or a mad meme (lots of impact)?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><br />
Consider the following to make your determination: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><br />
<b>1. What are you seeing in the meme? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">- Consider colors, composition, scale, font style, etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><b>2. What is the message? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">- What does it mean?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">- Who is the intended audience of this message?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">- Does the message seem biased to you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><b>3. Is the meme "working"? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">- Why or why not? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">- Does it make you feel a certain way or create a certain response for you: happy, sad, hopeful, angry, laughing, disbelief, etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><b>4. What would you have done differently if you were the designer?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">- Would you use any of the elements of this meme in your own? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">- Are you inspired to take any sort of action as a result of this piece?</span></div>
