The effects are nice, but right off the bat I can notice some major problems. The most prominent problem is the quality of the stock. It contrasts way too much with the rest of the effects. Also, the smudging? is nice, but it's strange at some parts, like pixel-y. The text is also sharper than the focal, that's a problem. I do love the attempt at depth and what you were trying to accomplish, but something in this tag screams low quality, and that something is what's butchering the whole tag.
Well, considering the stock was a bit too dark, it was a little hard to maintain the quality of the stock. For the smudging, I was trying out a tut given to me. It was a little hard to understand for me, but I managed to make this. I never really liked the text, but it felt a little empty to me at first. It looked better mirrored to me, though. I might try it again but on a better stock.
