Signature Design Help

[Pintuition]

I'd like to make a new signature and I need advice!

I am running into a problem where I’m struggling to envision how I’d fuse both of my islands together in one signature. One island is super pink pastel, cherry blossoms, very girly. The other is very woodsy, fall colors, and natural. I want to come up with a way to design a signature that will show people a little bit about each.

Right now I am only putting my pink island (Coral Key) in my signature but I’d love to include my woodsy one (Lorien) too without it just being my island names and a bunch of villager icons. Does anyone have any good ideas about how I could go about this?

My first thought was to kind of have a situation where I put my rep under a cherry blossom tree on one side and a red autumn colored tree on the other and fill in the middle part with some of my favorite villagers from each and have my island names across the top. I did start drawing the cherry blossom tree but now I’m having second thoughts about the concept. Does anyone have any better ideas? Or think mine will be cute? I'm unsure and feeling kind of bummed none of my ideas have panned out.

If I have the idea right, you're trying to draw everything out like the one blink made and not a graphic sort of signature with the pixel sprites? I think it would be interesting to have a composition with a diagonal breeze of sakura leaves turning into red autumn leaves and then on each side the villagers and reps/island names! I'm sure your idea will work just fine but personally, I just don't like drawing trees, or when I do I feel like they look funny so I rather avoid them, and I'm not sure if you are trying to draw a whole piece out with a background and everything too or more simplistic like your current one

Try sketching out or picturing each separate idea clearly in your mind! This way you will know how each signature will look like without putting all your energy and into making many different signatures. Once you decide on one for sure, go all out!

At least that's what I do, although different people do prefer different things, so just find what works for you the best!

Sort of, yes! Definitely would be drawn, I am hoping to create something that's somewhat detailed and less like pixel sprites. I like the idea of there being a breeze and transition. I may try to draw a mockup of that this weekend! I also don't like drawing trees, which was an initial hangup of mine on this project. Maybe I'll draw leaves or something do the maple leaves and have it transition to a cherry blossom flower on their other side. I guess I could try both!

Thanks! I'm going to try to make some sketches this weekend and experiment!!
