Welcome to my first tut ever! we will be making a sig like this today 1. First open up the gimp and make a new file. Mine is 400 by 130 px 2. Get the part you want on your sig and copy paste it. 3. Now that you got that ready duplicate your background and gaussian blur it at 30 set it to soft light at 100% opacity. it should now look like this 4. take the blurred layer and set it to hard light and set the opacity to 80 5. afterwards take the background duplicate it and bring it to the top, after that add a ripple effect set it to lighten. Don't go crazy with the ripples though. 6. Duplicate the background again and bring it to the top, set it to hard light play with the opacity. Mine is at 50 7. Next make a new layer and fill it with any color gradient map. I chose purple to yellow. Set that to overlay and play with the opacity. 8. Make a new layer again and fill it with a new gradient map, mine was red to purple. Set this to linear dodge or overlay and play with the opacity. it should now look something like this. 9. duplicate your background and bring it over the gradient maps, if your pic is too bright lower the brightness of its too dark then put the brightness up. now it should look like this. 10. Now add a border script fu > decor > border > 1x1 black. 11. Add your text and you are done. P.S remember to erase over the focal point. other outcomes: OUTCOMES ARE APPRECIATED.
