We put the WhatsApp talk bubble into scenes that a driver sees, with messages a person would receive being late. Thus it seems that the pedestrian is giving the order for the driver to accelerate towards her. Thus showing that those who pay attention on the phone while driving can confuse things.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create Photoshop color effects for pictures using a light leak overlay and how to add an atmospheric fade effect with gradient fills and gradient maps.
1.How to Create a Color Photo Effect Using a Gradient Map
Step 1
To create a color photo effect, we’ll use a gradient map adjustment layer. Press Control-O and select the image you want to use.
Step 2
Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map.
Step 3
Double-Click on the gradient map icon and create a gradient with the following settings:
Color: #4a595f; Location: 0%
Color:#ba8254; Location: 100%
Step 4
Change the Blending Mode of the gradient map to Color.
2.How to Create Light Leaks in Photoshop
Step 1
Now we can start to create the light leaks. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient.
Step 2
Double Click on the Gradient Fill layer and use the following settings:
Style: Reflected
Angle: -50.53°
Color:#89515e; Location: 0%
Color: #d26348; Location: 46%
Color: #ff9f3b; Location: 100%
Step 3
Change the Blending Mode of the gradient fill to Lighten.
Step 4
Create another gradient fill layer as we just did above, but use the following settings:
Style: Reflected
Angle: -160°
Color:#fd605b; Location: 26%
Color: #533664; Location: 46%
Color: #e05929; Location: 76%
Opacity: 0%; Location: 0%
Opacity: 100%; Location: 16%
Opacity: 100%; Location: 31%
Opacity: 100%; Location: 67%
Opacity: 100%; Location: 70%
Opacity: 0%; Location: 73%
Step 5
Change the Blending Mode of the gradient fill to Lighten.
Step 6
And for the last light leaks, let’s create another gradient fill layer with the following settings:
Style: Linear
Angle: 140°
Color:#454543; Location: 0%
Color: #d96331; Location: 52%
Color: #d79863; Location: 100%
Opacity: 100%; Location: 23%
Opacity: 55%; Location: 27%
Opacity: 100%; Location: 40%
Opacity: 55%; Location: 69%
Opacity: 100%; Location: 90%
Step 7
Change the Blending Mode of the last gradient fill to Lighten.
Step 8
And finally, to make our image look a little more „faded”, we need to create another adjustment layer. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Exposure and set the Offset to +0.0200.
Awesome Work, You’re Now Done!
In this simple way, we can create a light leak Photoshop action using gradient maps and gradient fill layers to achieve different Photoshop color effects.
