GiMP University logo (2)

Just for you people who can't wait for the next tutorial, here's the final product:



And you can download my GiMP native file with all the layers still in tact here.

And here's how today's tutorial will work; I'll leave the comments open on this post, you downlaod the files, and axe me questions that you have about how I did or why I did whatever it is you see in the file itself.

I realize that's a lazy and lame way to run a tutorial, but I used only the techniques I have shown you so far to make this logo.

Fire it up.

Template Updates

Some of you may have noticed that this blog uses Google Analytics. You'd have to be a real G33K to notice such a thing, but I know you're out there -- you use open source software.

Anyway, GA says that none of you are viewing this page on a screen which is smaller than 1024x768, so as I begin to update the template, I'm going to format it to give you more real estate in the content field -- the place where the posts show up. No sense squinting when there's 30% more of your screen to use.

Look for more over the next week.

Just a brief update

Hi all. I have been on the run for two weeks straight and haven't had time to update the "how to make a logo" series. Just wanted to let you know I haven't abandoned this project, and that your e-mails of encouragement have been, well, encouraging.

Will update with a real tutorial later this week.
