Signature

A signature is a name of a person written by him. It could be written, stamped or inscribed by that person as a sign of agreement or acknowledgement. In the world of Internet, signatures are in image form. It is mostly used in forums. Basically, signatures are edited pictures that showcase the talent of the creator. Some put anime characters while others prefer persons as their renders. Some use C4D renders while other love to create abstract as their background. Today, one of the most popular threads in forums is the “SOTW” which means signature of the week. The admin provides the image that you are going to use for the signature. They also state other requirements like maximum dimensions, captions, name of the forum and the creator, the deadline for the entry and the prize for the winner. You can join SOTW as long as you are a member of that forum. When the entries are all in the members would be the one to vote which is the best of all. Most of the forums give points to their winner. These points increase their popularity in the forum. For me, I don’t care about the prize. I just show my work just for fun. I’m enjoying with what I am doing and at the same time I enhance my photoshop skills and creativity. When I make signatures I used my imagination. I exert a lot of effort for it but I’m not saying that is the best of all. Even if I don’t win I still have my prize and that is the comments my works receives. Other says “I want to make a siggy like that” or “you guys are not humans when it comes to signature making” and “lend me your talent please”. I’m not a pro when it comes to signature making and my works are not the best but at least I inspired others and make them smile.
Here are some examples of my works:
