    Always save nice signatures in a folder, in case you lack of ideas, you can take a look of these sigs and manupilate the idea maybe.

    do random stuff that you think will help your sig.
    If it doesn't work, thats what your undo button is for.

    When you save it also save it as a psd, incase you see an adjustment you can make.

    CnC's are guidelines, not facts
    Text is important - the pros use it to their advantage
    If your low on inspiration, take requests
    Have fun ^_^

    Patterns are patterns that you can create and use.

    There is a brush for spreading patterns where you want, or you can fill a whole layer with one.

    Hmm Tips? Look at tutorials for techniques, and dont follow them exactly.

    Piss about with filters and brushes..
    make your adjustment layers random, and test out each layer on each setting:D
