    Never put text over your render, the text is too big and you cant even read the whole text, also the size of the sig is too big;)

    Its more of a banner than a sig I guess, I've just been working on different points in photoshop to try and get better.

    Basically I was trying to get my brushing to look right along with getting the render to blend. I can delete the text layer and add in a different one maybe.

    besides whats already been said, the render blends too much in with the background. Try to use some lighting effects, textures, smudges, and blending modes. Make several layers of the same render and give each layer a different blending mode

    To start off, your render:
    I don't think that is a good render for a signature. When render-searching, it needs to be decent-looking. This doesn't mean that it has to be something kiddish, it just needs to look clean. Look at other peoples signatures that are smiled upon, and you can see what I mean by 'clean'.

    Secondly, your background:
    When we say 'blend your render into the background', it doesn't necessarily mean to find/make a background, and make the two items nearly the same color. What we mean is - in usual blending, people use the smudge tool with settings they've fiddled with, and brushed around the render, that led to the background.
    For example, I could have a plain that's colored sky-blue render with a dark-blue background. I can use the smudge tool with a certain setting, and brush around it, and it will lead into the background.

    If you're still unsure about this, look for tutorials on blending.

    Thirdly, your text:
    Even if that text on your sig was for copyrights, you need to work on your text. To make the right text to fit with your signature varies with all signatures. It doesn't always mean to just stuff text in any corner of your sig.
    It may seem weird to beginners, but plain text is better than some fancy, curvy letters.
    Take XSafires signature for example - (If I can use you for an example):
    His current signatures text isn't big, and it doesn't pop in your face when you first see the signature.

    Lastly, regular signatures are usually 300 X 120. Try that.

    I hope this has helped. I'd like to see some improvement next time. ;)
