Yikes! Sorry for the absence! No sooner did my marathon Downton Abbey series end than my kid came to visit, and I've been busy doing things with him. One of the things we did was talk about Photoshop and I made the the sloppy collage above to illustrate a point.
My kid might work on a project that requires him to sign what he does and I offered to help him come up with a signature. There's lots of reference on the net.
I tried my hand at it myself. My first name is easy to write in a flamboyant style but my last name is long and resistant to design. Maybe I should just call myself "Eddie." That'll be a tip off that I'm either famous or utterly insignificant.
I envy Jerry Lewis. His first and last names are short and are full of letters that look good in script. The "J" and "L" in particular lend themselves to lavish thick and thin.

You tortured your own son with photoshop theories?! I better report this to the theory authorities.
ADOPT ME!!!! But seriously, it's sooo cool that you and your son work together on stuff! I'm 50 but still deeply jealous. GOOD on ya!
And I LOVE the newspaper mock up! How did you do that?!? Please share. I'm technologically challenged. And never apologize for putting first priorities first. :)
J Gillian: I can't describe the Photoshop process because there's too many steps, but don't despair. There's an ipad app called Juxtaposer that's cheap and easy to use. I don't know if it can do text but it easily merges pictures.
Hey Eddie:
You can go here to see tons of cool cartoonist's signatures. I chose to sample Hank Ketcham at random, but there's a pull-down menu to search for any artist alphabetically.
Hi Eddie!
Thanks. I'll check it out. :)
"Theaht's right, it happened on a Thoisday!" Ha ha love it!
