Starting Point

Three excisting memes. Together because of the political background. Overlapping theme is 'Abuse of Power'.

Discussion

While discussing about the several options to start or create a meme, we found out that our group was not on the same level. Some wanted to use the theme 'Abuse of Power' for a topic that is big in the news nowadays: the refugees. Not everyone felt confident with that, and wanted to keep the theme more general. That is why we decided to split up in smaller groups.

During the discussion, because we were pretty far, we came up with the idea to use a spray-can as a connector for the different memes along the theme 'Abuse of Power'. The spray-can was an important object in one of the memes (pepperspray cops), so it is recognisable for a lot of people. Besides, when you spray something (doesn't matter what kind of spray), you react. And depending what kind of spray, it defines your reaction. Like pepperspray can mean 'i don't want to see this', and glue spray 'keep it to yourself'.
