		<description><![CDATA[In this graphic design tutorial, we're going to use Illustrator and Photoshop together in order to create a candy cane text effect. This tutorial will show you how to use various vector-drawing tools in Illustrator to create a custom pattern brush and how to refine your vector work by finishing it off in Photoshop.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this graphic design tutorial, we will discuss how to create an assortment of 3D text styles in Illustrator CS4. We will create a custom pattern (a flower pattern), apply beautiful color gradients, use basic shape tools to create custom objects, and much more. The underlying lesson in this tutorial is that, in Illustrator, you can achieve amazing results by choosing the right fonts and colors, and by being conscious of basic illustration principles such as perspective and lighting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a 3D-looking textured text effect in Photoshop without the need for any 3D tools or applications. All we need to be able to create our text effect is a good idea of perspective so that we can modify light distribution with the help of color correction tools (Burn Tool and Dodge Tool). The techniques and concepts you'll learn here can be used to apply any kind of texture (not just skin texture) to any text for simulating depth and lighting precision.]]></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[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>
