You need a graphics program, such as Paint Shop Pro (which can be downloaded off the internet as a free trial from www.download.com but will expire after about 30-60 days), Adobe Photoshop etc. You can also used MS Paint but the quality won't be very good. It takes a while to get a hang of PSP (Paint Shop Pro) but the end results are great.

If you don't want to download a new graphics program I'm sure if you ask nicely there might be someone who would help you make a signature.

You can also download a free program called GIMP (for windows) http://www.wingimp.org/ , which does everything Adobe Photoshop does.

That particular site has tutorials on it to help you learn how to use the program.

I've heard that it takes ALOT of practice to make one.

You can PM a couple people on here to make one for you. I'm sure they'd be happy to do it. Just give them the photos and explain a little about what you'd like. They'll usually come up with a couple to see which you like best.

There are lots of things you can do to create signatures. It's really only limited by your imagination.

First think about what pictures you want to use in the signature, then what I do is I look for colours in that image that I like and I use that for the background or look for images with similar colours in them to add to the signature as well. But of course you have to know how to use all the tools in photoshop so....

The easiest way to learn how to use Photoshop (because it would take me hours and several pages to explain on here) is to do some online tutorials. Here are a couple I found but just google 'free photoshop tutorials' and you should find some more.
