Tips:
I see many players asking how do you do this? and when they try they give up and say "This is impossible!!!" Well its not, its actually quite easy to start, and your able to even greater designs as you keep going. So to help anyone who needs it, I will answer any questions, and here is my own little guide to Signatures.

So lets start at the first thing you learn when trying to make a signature.
Open up notepad and use this font: Arial, font size 9.
Arial, font size 9 is the font Jagex uses for the forums, if you don't use it when using notepad you signature will be completely unaligned and messy.
Signatures are limited to 4 lines.

That is all.
The beginning of a signature is the hardest part for me. You have to pick a pattern and build of it. If you don't at most times it will get unaligned and will have inconsistent shadings.
So lets start with the first line.
..¸-›*°'˜:
Now once you make that first part you will get going because that first part will lead you in different directions so you can make your own patterns and curves.
..¸-›*°'˜:::;¸·*°*·¸
;;°›.,¸¸¸,.‹ˆ
see what I did? I used that one strand to make another. While the connected it opened a way to create another strand at the top.
There are 3 KEY points you will read about in the following posts, and I hope you learn from it.

Ok, so we left off saying there were THREE key points.
1. Curving
I call it curving, you may call it what you like, many signature makers call it something different.
¸·*°*·¸;.¸-*°'˜'°*'-¸.¸-'(§)'
These curves are what makes up your signature. They give it a shape, and they give it it's own design. This is pretty much your skeleton. You build you curves and add more to it, which I will discuss in the following paragraphs.
2. Shading
Shading is a very important part in signature making. Why you ask me? Shading is what makes the spaces in your curves and gives you that shape. The Runescape Forums does not let you space more than once so we used " ;;;;:::... " to make up for it before we started learning that this would soon be a key point in making a signature with a great design.
2.1 Types of shadings
There are three official types of shading, regular, shaded, and alt-spaced.
Regular - ................
Shaded - ;;;;;;:::::::...........
Alt-Spaced - Can't exactly show you this... plus I don't have a browser that can do alt-spaced, only certain browsers can.
3. Symmetry
Symmetry is a major part of most signatures, some are made with out symmetry, but the majority are made with it.
The easiest way to make you signature symmetrical is to make half of the signature. NOT INCLUDING TEXT.
Example:
;;;;:::.¸•'°°'•›¸:;;¸‹•'°°'•¸•,¸•''°°''•¸;:
¸•°´¨`”°•›„¸¸„•''•„¸¸¸.„‹°..;°›,¸¸.‹ˆ
°›,¸::.. ..:::;;ˆ›.„¸¸¸„‹°,¸¸.ˆ:::..ˆ›.„¸¸„
You make half of it. Then you add the text and the different add ons. REMEMBER YOU MUST HAVE THE TEXT CENTERED TO FOR SYMMETRY TO WORK. Without the text centered it will not work.

Next thing to talk about is Alt-Codes.
Alt Codes are need to make the 4 kinds of text you can put into a signature.
Normal, Ç|êåñ, [\/]E§§¥, or 1337..

normal...clean...messy.........leet....
