After seeing this assignment, I knew I would find a cute derpy corgi and make him cuter. I also decided to make a little tutorial on how to make this with the text and box. This corgi caption is based off of this meme, in case you didn’t catch that.
Edit: I choose the placement for the box simply because there were some hairy legs in the picture and they were distracting from the cuteness. I suppose thats a design element of some type. I choose the font color because it popped and the red in the tennis “berz” kind of matched. And the font I choose because it was pretty close to the one used in the original meme.
First, I duplicated the layer in case anything went wrong, I could go right back to the original:
Then, I renamed the layer by right clicking it and naming it Dupe and hitting enter. Then I created a new layer by right clicking Dupe and hitting New Layer:
Then, from there I selected the “rectangle select tool” (highlighted in the upper left of the tool box and drew a rectangle where I wanted my white box to be (note I did my work and this tutorial at different times, so they are different boxes and fonts and such):
Now I have a white box in the layer “Layer”!:
Then I selected the “Text tool” (most left column in the middle, capital “A”) and wrote in the white box what I wanted to say (note: using the text tool will create a new layer):
Then, to make it look a little better and polished, go back and click “Layer” with the white box. Above the layers, there will be a bar that says “opacity.” Drag the bar or click the arrows to make it look “polished” to your satisfaction (this is set to 57 in this example):
Voila! You’re done!
