Meme Yourself

Directions:

In groups of 3 or 4, you are to create your own meme from scratch. Using your smart phone or computer, take a photograph/video of anything you think you can meme (just don’t take any photos of strangers), send that photo/video to yourself, and turn it into a meme using either Microsoft Word, Photoshop, InDesign, or a web-based meme creation tool. Once you have created your meme, answer the following questions. Only one group member needs to submit the completed assignment sheet.

Questions:

Explain your meme. What is the photo/video of? What does it mean? Is there text? How does the text relate to the photo/video?
Did you follow the “rules” of memes? How so? If not, why not?
What multimodal elements are present in your meme?
Would your meme work as well if it utilized different multimodal elements? Why or why not?
Who is the target audience for your meme? How do you know this?
How could your meme be remixed in ways that could be problematic?
How could corporations/businesses/institutions use your meme? How could they misinterpret/misuse it?
Why is pop culture/social media important in technical and professional communication?
