DOTW:How it all started?

How it all started?

When I started making signatures for IF, I used to admire the works of two khushis on this site. I wondered how they came up with such beautiful piece of art 😍that was when I decided to be regular on AS. It was years back but I cannot forget how it all began.😊 It gives great pride when people admire my work and use them and credit them, I am sure all of us sigmakers feel the same.This is for the newest siggymakers too; we would love to read your experiences.

We all have our own stories to share so let's have a walk down the memory lane...

1) Whose signature inspired you to learn sigmaking?

It is my cousin's signature. She made quite alot of them and i drew inspiration from those signatures. Though she has quit IF, I owe all credits to her.

2) Tell us something about your first shop.

My first shop is "crazzie spirrits" and i have completed a few pages of it. People have really liked my creations. I still a learn from people's comments and suggestions.

3) A comment/praise on your work that will always be etched in your heart.

Yes, some comments are etched in my mind. But then i always remember people who have appreciated my work. People praise when they are happy with your work and it inpires me more.

4) Who was the most regular customer at your shop/gallery?

All my CC members including a few like Mariha, Neelam, Senorita, Siddu, Rohini etc.

5) How long do you plan to continue making signatures?

Well i want to take a break and learn more tricks and techniques and make better creations . Im inspired by everyone here and trust me, all are fabulous 👏 ! Every siggy maker has his/her own charm.

6) Your first reaction on seeing them is being used by others around IF.

I felt WOW ! I patted on my back and said " Man you can do it better"

7) Do you think Avatar Signature Shop is the best place to prove your creativity? Tell us from your experience.

Yes, i want to tell a few things more here. This is ofcourse the best place to show our creativity as all people around the world appreciate you, see your creations and use them . Unfortunately piracy ruins all. I would like tell some people to STOP copying, cutting work from other people's work. Use your brains and develop your own creativity !! This process we are loosing out on our creative siggy makers !!!!! And yes, people if you request a siggy make sure you use it for a WEEK otherwise dont request. Siggy making takes in alot of effort and don't ruin them.

Thank you sis for the amazing DOTW. Look forward for more beautiful anecdotes 😛

1) Whose signature inspired you to learn sigmaking?

Not anyone in particular but i was always fascinated by the art of siggie makign and so i learnt it slowly !!! I do make decent siggies now !!!

2) Tell us something about your first shop.

lol just opened the shop in last december but it has completed only 14 pages. Not much of a siggie creator but love making sigs !!

3) A comment/praise on your work that will always be etched in your heart.

"Do i need to say that u rock ?? " I think this was really the best compliment i got. Its sarcastic but close to me

4) Who was the most regular customer at your shop/gallery?

It was Mitali ,Neeta, Sayeed and mostly my If friends !!!

5) How long do you plan to continue making signatures?

I plan to make them as long as i am here on IF. That means for life time !!! 😆

6) Your first reaction on seeing them is being used by others around IF.

I would never really mind if people use my siggies as it is along with my name on it. But one day i saw someone had just cropped my Shilpa Anand siggy and used it. I was really very annoyed that day !!!

7) Do you think Avatar Signature Shop is the best place to prove your creativity? Tell us from your experience.

Yeah it is a very nice place. Maybe the members should be more open about the textures and all they use and let others know sources so that even others can use them. As it is said knowledge is gained by sharing with others !!!

1) Whose signature inspired you to learn sigmaking?

I used to work with Photoshop even before I joined IF. Of course at that time I didn't have any idea that I could make sigs and avis. I just used work on my or family pics and make frames for them or just make wallpapers for my desktop. Then I joined IF and soon I started making sigs... At first it was mostly for BMTD and then people wanted me to open a gallery and I did. Since then till today I love the work of many people because they make truly stunning creations.

2) Tell us something about your first shop.

Hmm... well, at first I didn't want to open a gallery because I thought who would I complete 150 pages. I mean 150! But then some friends asked me to. And then I thought why not it's a great way to compile my creations. At first the creations were not that great either 😆 I was shocked the time I hit 100 pages and then 150.

3) A comment/praise on your work that will always be etched in your heart.

A lot of times when people give me such detailed commetns with lots of emoticons and exclaimation marks make me so happy. I can truly feel their excitment and it makes me joyous that my creations have such an effect on people.

4) Who was the most regular customer at your shop/gallery?

Hmm.... Can't really remember now... I think it was Shireen and some others who always commented.

5) How long do you plan to continue making signatures?

As long as I can. I love doing this especially when I'm tensed. It releases the stress for me. I feel great after making sigs, so I hope to continue doing it forever.

6) Your first reaction on seeing them is being used by others around IF.

At first I was like 😲 and then I was like 😭 (Tears of happiness of course) and 😃 at the same time and finally I was 🥳

7) Do you think Avatar Signature Shop is the best place to prove your creativity? Tell us from your experience.

I think creativity doesn't need to be proven. It's something inherent. You can be creative in various different ways. Creativity doesn't mean creating the most pleasing sigs. It means that you can come up with unique styles/sigs/creations that make you and others happen. So it doesn't need to be proven. As long as you are satisfied with your creativity, that's all there's to it.
