Tips for memes that land
The classic format is simple, which is exactly why the details matter.
- Keep captions shortThe format works best with a set-up at the top and a punchline at the bottom, a few words each. Long captions shrink and cover the picture.
- Size the text for phonesText size runs from 20 to 80. Most memes are seen on phones, where bigger text is easier to read, but check it doesn’t hide the part of the picture that makes the joke.
- Pick images with room for textPictures with sky, a wall or another plain area at the top and bottom leave space for captions without covering faces.
- Use images you’re allowed toYour own photos are always safe to use. For anything commercial, such as an advert or a product, use images you own or have permission for, rather than film stills or other people’s photos.
