HOW TO: make a Signature Brush

watermark examples from last semester (click on image to make larger)


Richard started out the semester with a clean type and moved to a signature look, both work for his style of imagery.

These next two examples also work nicely, the text does not overwhelm the image.

Things to be careful of:
Size, too large, too small, just right?
Color: black, white, gray!
Placement: traditionally, bottom right side of image.

Final Project CD images,  save as, full resolution, large .jpgs
