Renders and text are easy.
Most of the time you can get away with the same render everyone else has been using recently, and you can get away with simple fonts like arial or times.
Personally I think backgrounds are one of the biggest factors when doing sigs, so always make sure those are as good as you can do with whatever skill level you may be at.
If you want to do something different with renders, try getting renders that are good quality but from unpopular games/movies, etc., because they're probably not used nearly as much as the more popular stuff. You can also cut your own if you can do it neatly and it's not already been done.
And with text you can try using some really out of the box ones, or try making them a real part of the rest of your sig, like putting them on a wall or on a person's shirt, or something.
Mainly, just experiment, and keep making sigs. You'll get all that stuff easy.
