Each person draws three of their favourite memes from your list on an A4 sheet.
knowing whats being discussed in popular culture is a useful skill.
Using current cultural references to spread an idea.
Memes usually work because they are silly and ridiculous, so have fun when coming up with memes.
Topical topics
Make a list of 15 things that have happened in pop culture from 2018 until now
Image creation
pick one topic each and create 3 seperate visuals
The Topic i chose was the release of Incredibles 2.
Set & style
If an idea works it works in 3 different ways
A single image is great to get across an idea a set helps reinforce it.
Absolut vodka. Campaigns based around their bottle shape
Treasure, clarity, perfection
Make a set
Pick 3 events from the list we made and draw each one in a separate square
Final step
From sketched concept to finished result is styling whats the method of execution?
illustration? hand drawn? vector? photography? full colour? black and white?
I decided my strongest one was the Power Rangers, Donald Trump and Night King meme as they all have iconic looks, but they did not tell my story. I decided to see if i could tell their story by adding images behind.
I decided to go with a clean illustrated pop art/ cartoon style, as Power Rangers was originally a comic/cartoon based, Game Of Thrones was illustrated in a book and Donald Trump is a real life cartoon character.
Power Rangers get together, Game Of Thrones Final Season, Donald Trump and Russia.
I then tried using different backgrounds.
I also experimented with the hand meme i drew.
Using a style from Olivetti, i decided to craft up these memes.
I decided to add the badge to each to sign of each image and to create the story behind the image by giving a clue to the viewer.
