[Archived version] 9 tips on how to make and write signatures taught by professional calligraphers
The article above is supervised by a famous calligrapher who is a professional calligrapher, so it is very detailed and accurate, and even amateurs can easily learn how to make their own signatures.
We will introduce the signature creation service "Speed Sign" in detail later in this article.
Introducing the process and tips for making your own sign
Now, with reference to the article above, we will introduce the process and tips for making your own sign.
1, Select the characters to sign
First, let's choose a pattern/letter to use for the sign.
In Japanese, it is common to simply use first name first.
It is very convenient to have a signature in kanji, such as a contract, with you. However, there is a drawback that it is difficult to break down the kanji by yourself.
Example) Haruko Sakamoto
There are several variations when writing your signature in English.
First of all, you may be familiar with simply writing your first name and last name in that order.
Example) Haruko Sakamoto
It can also be omitted as shown below.
①Name only Haruko
②Name initial + last name H. Sakamoto
③Name + Surname Initial Haruko. S
④Initials only HS
It's a good idea to choose characters in a convenient pattern based on the purpose and situation in which they will be used.
2, Think about breaking down
Once you have decided which characters to use, let's think about how to break them up.
Even if you say ``Koshi'' in one word, even an amateur can learn how to make it by knowing the key points.
Point 1: Change the size of each letter
This is the basic idea of calligraphy.
If each letter is the same size, it tends to become monotonous, so it is important to differentiate the letters by varying their size.
For example, in the case of Ryo Ikeda, setting the ratio to 3:1:4 gives a sharp but cohesive impression. 
In the case of alphabetic characters, the initials are generally made larger.
If you want to make further changes, you can also make the vowels softer and the consonants louder. 
Point 2: Change parts
Kanji are basically made up of a combination of parts.
For example, in the case of ``Taniguchi,'' the ``guchi'' characters are continuous, so if you write them in the same balance, the signature will be uninteresting.
Therefore, by changing the shape slightly, you can create a more mature and stylish look, so please try it. 
Point 3: Incorporate bold stroke order changes
By changing the stroke order, you can also achieve ``writing quickly,'' which is one of the purposes of signatures.
For example, ``田'' is usually written in five strokes, but if you connect them, you can write them in one stroke.
Furthermore, by abandoning the concept of correct stroke order and viewing kanji as "pictures," you can create highly original signs. 
By making bold changes to the stroke order, you will be able to write ``Tanaka'' like no other. 
3, Make it stylish
Once you have decided on the style, let's create a stylish look.
A memorable sign has distinctive features that catch the eye.
What you want to be aware of when creating such a sign is "brush strokes."
By moving the lines from side to side, you can create a flowing sign and create an innovative design.
For example, the signature of "Tai Koike" can create a stylish impression by moving the "T" boldly up and down.
By being conscious of your brushstrokes, you can create a flow and emphasize the letters. 
If you want to create an original sign that will last a lifetime, leave it to the professionals.
By learning the tricks, you may have imagined how to make your own ideal sign.
However, making your own sign takes time and effort.
For such people, we would like to recommend a sign creation service where you can convey your wishes to a professional and have them create a cool original sign for you.
