The best way to make contact with a Deity is to start by building a relationship with them. After all, is a child more likely to gain what they want by going to their parent or to a random stranger on the street. The Gods respond to those that they have a relationship with, not just someone who randomly calls on them in a spell.
Start by researching the particular Deity that you want to develop a relationship with. What were their attributes? How were they worshiped in ancient times? What offerings would be appropriate for them?
Creating an altar to that particular Deity, as has been suggested, is a good next step in the process. The altar is where you and the Deity will interact in the beginning. Use colors and symbols that are associated with that Deity. (For instance, I work with Sekhment so my altar has a red altar cloth since red is her color.)
Once you have created an altar, then start making regular offerings to the Deity you're trying to establish the relationship with. An offering can be as simple as a stick of incense or an much more elaborate one.
Take time while making your offering to meditate on the fact that you want to have a relationship with this particular Deity and ask them to come into your life.
Once you feel that you do in fact have a relationship, that the Deity is listening to you, then you can ask them to speak to you in your dreams or meditations or to guide you in your life. Sometimes they will appear to your in their own form, but sometimes they will appear in other forms...so you have to pay attention.
Remember too that if you invite the attention of a Deity into your life then it is entirely possible that the Deity is going to start influencing your life as well. So be careful in which Deity you call upon if you don't want the energies represented by that Deity in your life.
