How to recreate this image in Photoshop?

[Rhys Jewkes]

How to do the red & yellow over the three images, is mostly what I need help with, I figured it was just a simple brush going over but I tried a bunch of times but it always came off looking horrible & cheap! Also does anyone have an idea on what that font is?

This can be a gradient or color overlay.

with gradient overlay


layers panel (note: mode is set to overlay)


You can then adjust the opacity as well.
