Now almost every design needs a text to be there. Note that I've created and have hidden some of the effects using a rounded gradient on the mask.

Moreover I've created a text layer between background layers (see the screenshot) so the top layer mask has an effect on the text too.

See how the text blends at the right side.

I've also dropped some king of logo interpretation. It can be definitely be some object or another text line, everything you thing feats there.

On the lower text copy use a Gaussian blur.
