		<description><![CDATA[In this photo manipulation tutorial, we will create a surreal desert scene with everything turning into sand. We will start with simple techniques, such as replacing the sky and adding a focus effect to the landscape. Then I will show you how to mask areas of the model's hands, dress and other elements of the scene and replace those areas with sand using a custom particles brush. Let's get started!]]></description>

Before creating this scene, the concept I I knew I wanted was to have a girl floating unconsciously in space, with two hands trying to get to her and a short message represented in 3D text. You can see in this tutorial what I ended up with.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this graphic design tutorial, we will combine Photoshop, Cinema 4D, and Illustrator to produce a composition that includes elements such as 3D text, 3D light bulbs (which we will create from scratch using only a reference photo), and florid ornaments. My concept for this scene started from a simple thought: "ideas are all around us." We are constantly surrounded by ideas wherever we are and everywhere we go -- we just have to find them and make the best ones happen.]]></description>
