Daily Create #tdc3055

Thinking of mash-ups, there are some really great ones out there such as Post Malone songs being remixed with Khalid songs, One Direction with 5 Seconds of Summer, and so on. One of my favorite mash-ups made, however, is by Imagine Dragons and Khalid called Thunder / Young, Dumb, and Broke. I’ve always listened to these songs individually and never really thought about how they sounded together, until one day the song came up on one of my daily Spotify playlists. This mash-up though already made is an art form in and of itself as the music, lyrics, and even voices of the artists all collide to form an amazing creation. This is a song I listen to often, especially during summer with the windows rolled down and going on adventures with my friends to places like cliff jumping, the beach, and/or hiking; the mash-up is a perfect song to set the tune for a beautiful summer day.

What’s the MEME – First MEME

The face you make when you’re about to go off on someone but they go off on you instead…

I’ve always loved Avatar since I was little kid; I would consistently watch it on Nickelodeon as a child and watched it so much that I still know the opening theme song to do this day. Sokka was always one of my favorite characters, the one character who would overreact about everything and bring in some comic relief during clips of the show, even during fighting instances. I chose this image off of the Meme-able Images page on the course website. This image was one I immediately laughed at because I remember the episode it is from. Thinking of a MEME caption to put with it, I couldn’t help but think of Sokka about to go off at someone by yelling or screaming at them, only to realize he can’t stand up against someone going off at him and just has this comedic expression on his face like, “uhhhhh…”. I’ve never made a meme before, and have never been familiar with the meme world as it’s something I’m just not quite that into, however, time and time again I’ll see or find a funny one and hope that mine creates some humorous reaction out of it. Though memes may not be my strong suit currently, I’m hoping to learn more about creating memes and GIFS throughout the course to come up with some inspiring/creative ones of my own!
