River - Creating the Magazine Review

This process was a little more complicated than the poster was. It applied the same gradient and brightness filters, however on the title text and the border I was asked to invert the colours. To achieve this, I created a clipping mask of both the border and the title text, then overlaid the same background image, but without the gradient and brightness filters and with the colours inverted. This then achieved the desired effect, with the colours changing but the actual image itself is not interrupted. I then had to make it look like an actual magazine review, so I decided to use Empire as the magazine it was going into, then added in the review text. I also added in a large quote above the title text and a brief verdict and star rating at the end of the review, as is the style of Empire reviews. I added the page numbers and issue date to the bottom left and right hand corners of the page and considered it done.
