Step 1
Find a funny picture of a friend. You may have to take a
subtle one when they are not looking or you can easily (I'm sure) find a photo
on their Facebook profile. I chose one here of my colleague wearing his sisters
birthday sash.
Step 2
Choose a funny line or two that could be used for the photo. It could be something that your friend often says or it
could be a personal joke between you both. Alternatively it could just be mimicking
something funny they are doing in the photo (I have chosen this option in this
case)
Step 3
Open the image in Photoshop. Use the text tool on the left
hand side and then click where would you would like to put the text. You will
need to make the text large (the font size will change depending on the picture
size) It is best to have one line at the top and one at the bottom. You may need to add some space above the head for text. Use the
font Impact to get your Meme looking at its best. Press the tick button when
you are finished
Step 4
To give the text a border you will now need to double click
on the layer under the ‘layers’ section. This will bring up an option menu. Go
to the stroke section and under structure adjust the size. For larger images
you will need to make a larger stroke but for this image I chose 5 pixels as it
gives the text a nice border
Step 5
Crop your picture accordingly and then save your masterpiece!
