Abstract
A novel and unique method and program for producing a photograph of a celebrity figure with personalized and autographed messages. The method includes the steps of collecting signatures and photographs of celebrity figures, generating corresponding special character font sets for the celebrity figures respectively from their writing samples, and creating executable computer software programs and databases containing the signatures and photographs of celebrity figures and the special character font sets of the celebrity figures for producing a selected photograph of a celebrity figure chosen by a user with an autographed personal text message. The autographed text message is written in the respective character font set generated from the handwriting samples of the celebrity figure and therefore closely resembles the handwriting of the celebrity figure.
