		<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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Photoshop tutorial, we're going to create retro-looking text that seems like it's constructed using folded strips of paper. We're going to step away from the computer a little bit and use a real model as a reference for our project. Prepare yourself to heavily rely on Photoshop's Lasso Tool, as well as some other basic tools and simple techniques.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are going to create a retro-colored psychedelic background, which we are then going to apply to some text. The purpose of this tutorial is to learn how to mask out an image so that it just shows through the editable text, making it friendlier to modifications later on. We will also work with layering textures to create a grungy retro background.]]></description>
