Can anyone recommend some tutorials?

[ChewBecca]

I need to learn some photoshop techniques for my next project.
I am going to do something with fairy tails/dreams/nightmares, and I am going to need to manipulate them so they look really surreal and wierd.

So basically I need tutorials that are wierd, surreal, strange ect.

I will love you forever if you can recommend some :3

For nightmares I suggest using displacement maps.
Makes everything look shattered or tearing apart, gives a lovely feel if you know how to work it.

For dreams Bokeh is a very nice effect
Makes you think of happy colors and bubbles, who doesn't dream about bubbles?!

Also try and look at other peoples designs for inspiration.
After you have basic knowledge of photoshop, It really comes down to your imagination.
The first surreal/manipulation design I did was a frog(body) with a croc's head.:

Most of it is top-class. Except for the web-dev.
