After you have finished your card, it is natural to want to sign it, of course. However, ATCs are so small that it is best to sign the back of the card, instead of the front. Signing on the front can seriously take away from the artwork. The signature would be an eye-catcher.

So instead, there are a few methods that are better than signing the front.

You can simply just add your signature and date (just a signature is ok, too):

You can even add a title to your card, if you like:

Wanna get fancy? How about adding your information on a label and sticking it directly on the card:

You can go even bigger by getting a stamp made! It is always better to hand-sign your cards, though... so don't include your signature on the stamp.

Whichever of these options you choose, be sure to do it EVERY TIME! I have cards that don't have signatures on them. I still, to this day, don't remember who drew them. And it is almost impossible to find the artists after some time goes by.
