I did a little research online and found how to actually make them

But I still have a question if anyone could answer it for me...
It said that there are different types of runes (alphabets and such, I think I already know the material to use) and you should pick the one that works best or speaks to you. Only the sites I've seen don't list all these types. One said there were 6 types, another more, and still another said only 3.
Does anyone know what different types of runes there are, and where I could find information on them such as pictures and descriptions of meanings so I can decide for myself which is best for me to make??? Any help would be great!!
Thanks! :D
