Getting those really cool watermark signatures

[XXWoodmanXX]

How do you guys go about making them? Do you just apply it as a layer from Photoshp? Is there places you can get really nice script fonts to make it actually LOOK like a signature?

Just an inquiring mind, off to find out a few tips-n-tricks from the sea of great photographers on this forum. Thanks!! 8)

Ok, this might be the hard way to do your signiture, but here is how i did it.

Setup the camera in the bathroom facing a large clean mirror. Picked up a red laser pointer from best buy for 5 bucks, set the camera too about a 15 sec exp. time. Turned the lights off and just air signed my name into the mirror.

Took about 10 times to get the one i wanted, but came out looking really cool after a little photoshop help.

sorry that i dont have any examples online.

good luck

New blank canavas in PS. Type in your text with fonts and effects. Save as a new brush. Any time you want to add the text, just pick the brush.

I used the same process as KennyG except I took my original signature on a blank sheet of paper, scanned it into a jpeg then did what KennyG said except I turned my signature jpeg into a new brush and saved it. Looks coooool :D

I'm lazy, I have a shed load of handwriting fonts.

I also don't want to give anyone my signature in case my cards ever get stolen :shock: :P

thats a good point and the reason the signature I use is not like any I use for anything else. :wink:
