You shouldn't put it at the bottom unless it more of a watermark, and in this case, it looks more like the text for the actual signature not a watermark. It's really lacking the basics such as depth, flow, lighting, and such. I'm assuming you smudged duplicated layers of the background or did a brush spam. If you smudged it, I'd recommend using these settings - http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/054/2/d/Smudge_Tag_Tutorial_by_KRS25.png And for text I recommend this tutorial - http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/154/2/6/Text_in_Signatures_by_Narudan.jpg Depth - http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/066/e/b/Sakai__s_Depth_Tutorial_by_CuzzinSmudge.png
