									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey man! It would be my pleasure! So have you ever heard of an effect called Jitter? Its like taking a photo and making it pixilated, but it makes the pixels shiny instead of dull, its great for taking things out of focus while still drawing attention, below I have attached a photo with it, and without it. </p>
