A vignette is a darker border - sometimes as a blur or a shadow - at the outer edges of a photo.
Use the Add a vignette filter to reduce the saturation at the edges of your image compared to its center and add a little dimension!
Add the VIGNETTE when you have made all of your other edits!
Make sure you have made the layer a Smart Layer. You will see the icon on the thumbnail!

Selected text
With the Horizontal Text Tool still selected, triple click (3x) your name
or click and pull to select your entire name.
With the text selected (highlighted)...
In the Properties Panel, change the font (you choose) under Character by clicking the pull down (arrow) menu
TIP: Try a Script font by clicking the filters on the left (Script). Don't pick a cutesy or display font as they are hard to read!
With the text still selected...
Click the box to the right of COLOR
Make your name WHITE
Different ways to do this:
Click the top left corner of the color picker
or RGB 255 each
or CMYK 0 each
or Hex #ffffff
Click OK
ONLY use WHITE or BLACK for your signature!
(If the photo is dark, use WHITE. If the photo is light, use black!)
Text is large enough to read and does NOT over power the image!
Take a moment to check the Font SIZE
Is it an acceptable size as to not over power the photo?
Font and Size should small but legible!
Clear enough to read but not over shadowing the image.
Leave a little room to the right and bottom so the text is not touching the edge...
Go to the MOVE TOOL (the 4 sided arrow) in the tool bar
Click and pull on the inside of the text of your name to move your name so it sits on the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER and looks acceptable (like a signature)
Be careful NOT to pull on any of the handles or it will change its size!
