As you can see, in the background I tried to add some of my work, but I understand what you mean with "threw a bunch of effects", though, there are maybe 3-4 effects that are used on layers (the left and right column). I wanted it to look nice in my eyes, tastes may vary.
I'm being paid for the products I'm making, when I sell you a PSD file I am giving up my "authority" of the product to the person who buys the PSD.
If you've ever seen someone that's serious about their work you could have of seen that (For example: producers sell their songs for $20-$70 but everyone can still buy that song, when you buy the song as a DAW file, the producer removes the song from sale, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say).
Talking to you on Skype right now.
