How can I do a handwriting signature ?

cariocastyle

Hi,

I would like to do a handwriting signature for a DVD cover (TIFF 300 dpi).

My cover is in Photoshop. Black background. I used the “sharp” setting for my fonts (mainly Eurostile)

I need to do the handwriting in white on black.

I had some info in this thread: http://www.typophile.com/node/20954, about Illustrator, Live trace, Photoshop etc.

But I‘m still confused...

What will be the best way to do this? Can I do it by hand straight into photoshop or Illustrator? Hand tracing, scan / Livetrace, Pen tool?

I never used illustrator before but I can try. I use Photoshop usually.

Many thanks.
