    Just try different tutorials here...

    Use a lot of layers with grunge or abstract brushes alternating between 2 colors...Black and White..Then use color balance layer...

    Or look for tutorials with effects such as rain, etc...

    Yeah that one is better, just resave it as said above. Just look around for better brushes. Use multiple layers and blending options. Over time you will get better, everyone has to start somewhere.
