Meme Post

For this assignment, I decided to do the meme of the woman who's yelling at the cat over dinner, but instead of the woman and the cat, to replace the woman with Jan from The Office yelling at Michael, who will replace the cat, sitting down. 

For the caption I had Jan yelling at Michael to drink more water, and then Michael's character looking smug saying that he's on his third coffee of the day. I did this because I really like coffee and I definitely think that I should be drinking more water. 

When I was composing this, I was making it extremely rough, just so I could get a feel for what the real one is going to end up looking like. I had to resize the two images of Michael and Jan, but to make sure that I "preserved the proportions," I had to make sure that when I was resizing them, the photo was highlighted. 

Using the lasso tool was so helpful because "the tool tries to find image edges and automatically stops the selection there." All I had to do really was just outline roughly what I want to be apart of my meme and then drag it over on the original meme format. 

It took me a while to decide where I wanted to place my new images, and if I wanted them in their own panel or if I wanted Jan's hand to reach over into Michaels panel. So when I wanted to resize an image, "a transform border" appeared around the image I selected, and then I used the other tools to try and see how big or small I wanted the image to be.
