Evolution of Signatures

December 6, 2023

(This was originally a page, converted to a post and dated back to 2023)

This post is mostly just a way for me to relax and get my thoughts on paper, showcasing “Signatures” or “Sigs”, which are the things that got me into making graphics way back in 2003. I thought it’d be cool to make a “timeline” on where I was VS where I am now. It’s crazy to think that I’m writing this in 2023, 20 years after first starting way back in 2003.

Inspiration

Back in 2003, like most teenagers, I belonged to a lot of forums. One of those forums was called RuneNews, where signature making was extremely popular and not having a signature was a sin! One of the best signature makers I ever saw, even to this day, was a guy called Kaneso who kindly made this for me:

I immediately knew I had to give it a try, so I acquired Photoshop and began reading some really basic tutorials on Pixel2Life. Let’s just say the results weren’t exactly dropping any jaws! Anyway I won’t bore you too much with words, here’s a selection of signatures that show my progress over the years!
