Here's some extras you might like
1. What size - This is quite important for everything, "any size" won't do.
2. Colours - The colours for a site, signature, avatar, anything, is quite important. Try to avoid saying "I don't care what colours really, something dark"
There's a huge choise of colours that are "Dark".
3. Style? - There are many styles to choose from with signatures & templates.
Try to make it as easy as possible for the person that's willing to do your request.
4. Features \ Links - If you want someone to make an image navigation with text saying "Links, Downloads, Contact us" etc, say so, that way you wont have to ask them to change something over and over again.
5. Template Coding - Would you like the template coded? Then put that in your request, and if the designer don't have knowledge in Coding, get someone else to do the coding part (Unless you do it yourself).
6. Time & Date - If you request anything, and a user takes time to make it for you, don't bother posting\pm'ing 3 weeks after asking them to change something for you. Cause it's quite Rude, and the one that made the sig\template, might get pissed of. Try to reply and check your thread daily.
7. Avoid - This is unacceptable:

9. Mods - Don't bother sending a PM to mods freaking out like:
