My meme post is a picture of a woman with her dog both with confused faces as she scrambles to figure out if her source, she found is credible or not. Creating the image I the previous module was somewhat difficult. There was a lot of trouble when working with AI to get my exact vision. I had to ask AI to change very minor things in the picture like expressions, art style and more. Ultimately the picture is not exactly what I had in mind, but I still think it is good for my meme caption.
To find out what I wanted my caption to be based off of the picture, I went through our textbook, 'Writer/Designer,' to see what I could relate it to. I found a section on finding credible sources and I thought with the woman's confused face; it would go well with trying to find credible sources. We always have to question when finding a source if it is credible because some sources like Wikipedia may seem credible, but it is information complied by people from all over. It is very important that in writings, sources are credible (ethos) so that it adds that credibility to our own writings.

An interesting meme, Skyla. The dog's direct look at the viewer vs. the confused/ questioning look on the woman's face almost implies that she is trying to pass off the dog as a possible source? And yet, the text attached to the image suggests they were working together to determine the sources credibility. Either way, the text and image together offer many things to consider.
I really liked your take on the AI meme it was funny. The caption is for sure something I experience when trying to know if a website is creditable because sometimes you just do not ever know. Great post
