I wanted to add a plaque to the image to reveal the identity of the subject to unknowing viewers.

I made a selection in the shape of the plaque I was wanting. (made by two circular selections joined in the middle with a rectangular selection)

Fill this selection with an RGB of 71,71,71.

Create it below the textures as well and it will automatically pick them up/apply them.

I added a drop-shadow (distance of 2, spread of 0, size of 10), a bevel/emboss(depth of 100, size/soften of 0), and satin (mode = multiply, opacity=50, distance+size=11)
This made it look a little more metallic on top of the bricks and added depth.


I then selected a typeface that suited the image and typed the name of my subject.

After that i added the following layer styles to make it look engraved:
Bevel/emboss - depth=100, size/soften=0, others no change
satin - mode = multiply, opacity=50, distance+size=11
color overlay - rgb=71,71,71, opacity=100
