New words often appear in everyday life, the meaning of which is incomprehensible. And explanatory dictionaries cannot help clarify the situation. Take, for example, the newfangled word “signal”. What does it mean? But today many people hear it, so I really want to understand the essence of the matter.
What is the reason for its appearance?
It’s hard for people to live without communication. And today, thanks to the presence of the World Wide Web, called the Internet, you can do this without leaving your home. Moreover, it became possible to communicate online both with friends living in neighboring houses, and in neighboring cities or countries.
To simplify the process, there are social networks where you can easily make friends or find new love. But acquaintance via the Internet has its subtleties and complexities. Many are not too happy with their appearance, so they prefer to hide their true face behind portraits of famous movie stars or other representatives of public professions.
But how then to recognize whether the true appearance of a person is put up for general display? It was for this purpose that a signal was invented. What is it? A kind of photograph of a person on whose body is written the nickname of another.
The signal. What is it and how to do it?
Until a certain moment, the signal was written on a piece of paper, but today for this, many prefer to use absolutely any part of the body. The main thing is that the inscription should be clearly visible in the picture. The signal may be depicted on the arm, stomach, back, chest, buttock. Everything will depend on the imagination of its owner or the preferences of the person to whom the photo was intended. After the frank pictures, it is clear why the signal, written on paper and attached to clothes, does not look so interesting.
A prerequisite for creating an unusual photo is the complete lack of processing by Photoshop or another similar program. Everything should look natural, even, one might say, natural. After all, the direct purpose of the signal is to confirm the identity of the person and express sympathy for the recipient. Most often they are made for fans and close friends. Therefore, if someone asks you to send a signal, it is worth considering this as a compliment. In addition, now you know how to take such a photo, and you can immediately start creating it.
The signal. What is it: self-promotion or a way to make money?
Signs today are often used instead of avatars on personal pages of social networks. But any find that is in high demand is of great interest to those who want to make money. Therefore, today many are not averse to creating signals with names on the chest or more intimate places for the appropriate reward. The cost of the photo directly depends on what part of the body the inscription is made on, and on the degree of frankness of the picture.
As in any business, you can run into scammers who require payment in advance, but the photographs will not. Equally come across customers who refuse to pay or disappear after they receive the signal. To protect themselves, both sides make a compromise, which is a 50 percent advance payment for the work.
