57.To add your name go to font - ALS Script - size 20 - stroke 1 - anti-alias - smooth. Use the color
or pattern or gradient of your choice. Effects - 3D effects - drop shadow - settings: vertical 1 - horizontal 1 -
opacity 100 - blur 1 - color black. Adjust - Add Noise - Gaussian - 30 - Monochrome checked. Eliminating the
drop shadow, add noise and sharpen will soften the effect and is what I chose to do instead.
You can also use the text tool and add your own text. I used ALS Script font but you can use
whatever font you prefer.

58. Position your name in the bottom right area where you would like to have it. Adjust - Sharpness -
Sharpen.
