Doesn't mean you will be good at making sigs though, majority of people that are considered good at sigs don't like popout or only do it to sell to people that know very little about sig making.

Avoid translucent renders, multiple focal, monotone color schemes, and text for now. Also, try to put a little more time into your sigs and emphasize the elements explained in Odin's design basics until it becomes more natural.

It can be hard to tell good tuts from bad ones when you're just starting off, so ask around for some links, I know some GDG people have put together some decent lists of links. (I don't happen to have any)

Above all, don't give up!

Pop out signatures are for queers and fags. And so are animated ones 9 times outa 10. You really should refuse to do them, at least until you get more practice with real works and learn your flow, lighting, depth/contrast, composition etc.
