How to design your own amazing signature - over 5 million views!

If you are looking at this I guess you need to make a signature like over 5 million others before you!
Creating a signature is can be something that people have difficulty with. I know, because people keep asking me to design their signature for them.
I can’t do your signature. A signature has to come from you.
Start slowly and let your hand do what it wants to do.
You may have to write your signature 10 times or 5,000 times before you get it right!
When you are happy with your signature, practice and practice until your hand can do it without you having to think about it. That is when you know you have designed and developed your own recognisable signature to be proud of. It says who you are!
Many people say they can't do it - what they mean is that they can't be bothered to do the work. If you want a signature, put some time aside and work at it. Only you can do it!

You'll get it buddy. It's pretty easy once you see the cursive alphabet a couple times and can start to visualize it.. Why the public school system in America stopped just blows my mind.. heard recently they're starting to teach it again thankfully.. I know there's about a 10 year gap that kids weren't taught.

As an amateur graphologist, what you said makes a lot of sense! One's signature is reflective of how we want the world to see us - it is our persona on paper and it tells a lot about who we are. When someone asks you to design their signature, they might not realise it, but they are really asking you to design (and define) their individuality - which, of course, is impossible. The beauty of signatures is their uniqueness - just like (hopefully) the person they belong to!

Two things for those struggling with this: 1. Buy some pens or even markers and practice - especially your capitals using different slants and sizes to see which suits you best and; 2. Use calligraphy books (or online tools) to see which styles of lettering appeal to you most. Use them to begin practicing your new signature style. Instead of random doodles, tinker with your signature - you’ll enjoy the process and have a great signature that’s all you!
