		<description><![CDATA[In this Photoshop tutorial, we will create a futuristic wallpaper that utilizes textures and Photoshop blending modes. The design will strictly adhere to a grid structure and showcase shapes and type in the center. Some Photoshop effects will be used to create this wallpaper that has a futuristic-space-vintage feel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Photoshop tutorial, you are going to learn how to create some 3D text using only Photoshop. The mood we will strive to incorporate in our piece is dark and grungy. We are going to use consistent lighting, layer styles to create shadows for our type, Photoshop filters, and more. We will finish off our scene by adding a dark textured background that seems to fade out as it approaches the edge of the canvas -- a popular design technique.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Photoshop and Illustrator tutorial, we will produce custom patterns, stylish vector shapes, and blend photos together to create a cohesive work of art that will leave you spaced out! I'll also show you the power of the Gradient Tool for creating great light effects. As a side note, we will only be using Illustrator briefly to import some vector objects into Photoshop.]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[In this tutorial, we will create an out-of-this-world composition of a computer mouse that is streaking down like a meteor. We will focus on creating unique light effects and leveraging layer adjustment techniques for coloring and enhancing our scene. We will use Cinema 4D to create a simple backdrop for our stars, however, the important parts, we'll do in Photoshop.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Illustrator design tutorial will discuss how to create a grunge, handdrawn-themed poster with a cassette tape (which we'll draw) as its central subject. We'll use the Pencil Tool to make organic vector objects and also patterns in Illustrator. We'll also use the 3D Extrude &#038; Bevel Effect and take advantage of opacity masks to make certain elements semitransparent.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It isn't always necessary to use a 3D program to create 3D text — they're expensive and overkill if you just occasionally use 3D elements. Adobe Illustrator is more than adequate in allowing us to create some 3D objects with some basic shading for our text. In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to make some 3D text using Adobe Illustrator, and also discuss techniques of shading the text to give it a clean, consistent, and stylized look.]]></description>

We'll take advantage of a few fundamental tools in Photoshop such as shape tools, layer styles, and transform commands — combining them with easy and creative techniques to come up with a graphic that you can adapt into icons, infographics, and other design projects.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This graphic design tutorial will use Photoshop to create a design composition with an icy and dramatic look. This is somewhat of a tribute to one of the greatest competitors in sports, UFC’s Chuck Liddell, who recently had what may be his last fight after a long and illustrious career. We'll cover a lot of handy tips, tricks, and shortcuts that you should be able to apply to any of your own designs.]]></description>
