The Most Commonly Used Meme Font And A Tutorial How To Create A Meme With Photoshop

Dennis

Have you ever asked how the most commonly used meme font is called? I can give you the answer. The font is called Impact. Impact is included in the “core fonts for the web” package and has been distributed with Microsoft Windows since Windows 98, which means you should have the font already installed if you use this any Microsoft operating system. The very thick strokes of the Impact font are aimed, as the name suggests, to “impact” or  in other words to stand out. The Impact font is commonly used for funny Internet memes like the Lolcat images. If … Continue reading The Most Commonly Used Meme Font And A Tutorial How To Create A Meme With Photoshop

We used the Barbecue Grill again…

Dennis

My mother and her husband invited me on Wednesday again for a barbecue. At the end of april we had our first barbecue of 2013. But this week we had our second barbecue. And it was again very tasty. We grilled paprika spiced pork meat for example. This meat was so delicious even without dip. I did eat them with and without dip. We also ordered a salad for each of us. Usually my mother would create the salad but it was pretty late to get cucumbers or tomatoes. We ordered the salad from the Kebab Store where the husband … Continue reading We used the Barbecue Grill again…

Never Mess Around With Me. I´m a Lolcat!

Dennis

The son of my mother´s husband did send me a pretty good photo of his cat. The overall quality of the image was not that great but I changed the image to black and white with Photoshop because I know that this effect can improve the quality of slighty overexposed photos. I also added a little bit more contrast and also made some gamma corrections. I think the photo is now a little bit more respectable. He caught his own cat in the right moment. His cat gave a yawn and looks like he took the photo in the right … Continue reading Never Mess Around With Me. I´m a Lolcat!

Doner Kebab is so tasty…

Dennis

In germany we call this tasty dish either Döner, Kebab or Döner Kebab. I really love Döner. The husband of my mother has a new side job which means beside his regular job on the day as a facility manager, he is now also a delivery man in the evening for a turkish kebab shop. Sometimes you have to change your opinion, right? When I talk about Döner, I really knew my favorite Kebab Shop just some meters away from my appartement.
