Surrealistic Room

Idea- I am thinking of doing a project where what looks like a box with some sort of outdoor kind of thing inside it inside of it.  
Specs- I am going to be doing it in Photoshop in a 3000px by 3000px document.
Research-  I found a tutorial for this where is look like a boat on water and and the sky has the corners of a box.  I am excited to get started on this.  After the tutorial i hope to make one of my own with different components but keeping the same idea of it being inside a box.

I am having a little trouble with the tutorial.  There are many different kinds of brushes that needed to be used to put waves in the corners and i had lots of trouble getting these brushes.  The tutorial did not turn out as well as i hoped it would cause i also could not find some of the pictures i needed and finding similar ones was difficult too.  The tutorial came out pretty good and i figured out a way to make the sides look less hard on the other room i am making

 Comps-

So for the room that i made i found a background picture of trees and it had a path in it and decided that it would look good with the water flowing out from it.  I also used the clone stamp and put the on the edge to make it look a little better and not as hard and ridged. 

Storefront

Idea - So for my next project i am thinking of making a storefront.  I was looking online at tutorials and found this idea.  I think it would be cool to make the outside of the store and a logo for the store and maybe like a display kinda thing outside of the store. Also i could add like plants outside of the door. I have to think of a name for the store and like what they are going to sell.

Specs- I think i am just going to to size it on a 8.5 by 11 box on illustrator.  All the tutorials say to just create a rectangle and nothing to specific with size.

Research-  I found this idea looking up tutorials and so i have 2 tutorials i found that are kinda similar. I also looked up storefronts on google images and am getting an idea on an overall style.  Now I have to get started on my sketches.

Planning-

comprehensives-  I made this with the help of a tutorial i did before.  The tutorial helped me make the windows and give the roof a curved look.  I was still having some trouble giving it a curved look but it looks better then when I started.  I wanted to maybe have some chairs and a table outside but was not sure how to make it.  I looked for a tutorial but only could find one for what looked like a kitchen or dinning room table and that not really what i wanted.  I wanted it to look like those table not made of wire but kinda what look like it.  Like think plastic i am not really sure what it is.
