What Does it All Meme? 

Museums and archives aim to protect and display material that is culturally important to the public. Memes however that are shared by millions of people every day, are not, making them at risk of being lost. This publication aims to question who decides what is and isn’t valuable. The design is informed by the playful irreverence of memes and the juxtaposition of the orderly and careful approach of museums. The typeface choices mirror the visual style of memes that often have a humorous design approach with clashing and jarring type combinations, or awkward crops.
