FtU #01 – The universe can go meme itself

The Writing Life of a Tadpole Posted on June 2, 2019 by PolyWoggJune 2, 2019

Astronomy is on the list, and I’ll come back to that in subsequent posts, but for now, I need something small and symbolic for myself.

I have done some memes several times over the last few years in concentrated bursts. I share comics on FB, sure, but I’m talking more about my “own” creations — quotes, jokes, lunch notes for kids.

  • For quotes, I tried out a few designs on people and ended up with a vertical design that looked like a coil bound notepad, used a italicized font like it was handwritten/printed (not cursive), added a picture of a pencil with someone hugging it, and of course, included my frog logo;

  • For lunch notes, I put a banner across the top that said Lunch Notes, kept the background white and horizontal, added a pic of a kid talking to a frog standing on a lunchbox, and again, included my frog logo;

I did about 50 of each type and while I got a few likes, they were rarely shared, i.e.  » Read the rest
