Not sure if it should be posted here since it has to do a lot with graphic design, but since it's too attached to a photograph (in most cases) and we are all photographers who want to sign our own work properly, here I go.
The question involves the following (in my opinion) unseparable parts:
- Sintaxis.
Example: ©2011 Name Surname Photography
How important (or not) is to put the character '©', the year or the word "Photography"? Are there any tendency rules or similar? - Size.
Are there any rules for the dimensions of the signature so it won't affect to the image? - Place.
Is there any proper space for the signature?
I'd like to add that I'm not asking about designing a logo but the form of a signature (again, not even the typeface or style of the signature).
