Graffiti TutorialBy: sglider12Website: http://gimp-tutorials.net/Graffiti-TutorialWe are going to paint the name of the store (e.g. Pepe’s Tacos) on the metal door.Step 1Download this photo and open it up in Gimp.Step 2Now you are going to need a type of logo. You can either create one or find one online somewhere. For thesake of the tutorial, I decided to create one. If you want to use one you found and not make one, then skipdown to step something. If you'd like to make one, then read on.There are many ways you can go about making a logo/design for graffiti (at least digital graffiti anywaylol). For mine, I'm going to use text. At this point, go ahead and use the Text Tooland type inwhatever you want your graffiti to say. Position and size it. Don't worry about the perspective right now.We will get to that later.

Step 3 – Finish Creating the TextI decided to add a little bit of a background and a stroke to the text. To do that, first merge the two textlayers (Layer Merge Layers) together if they are on different layers. Rename the new layer as "text."Create a new layer underneath this layer (Layer New Layer) and name it "text bg."Right click on the “text” layer and select Alpha to Selection (or Layer Transparency Alpha toSelection).Click on the “text bg” layer. Now, you must go to Select Grow. Grow by 15 pixels. Fill the selectionwith white on the text bg layer using Edit Fill with FG Color or by using the Bucket Fill tool.Create a new layer above the text layer (Layer New Layer) and name it "text gradient." Right click the“text” layer and select Alpha to Selection (or Layer Transparency Alpha to Selection). Nowclick on the “text gradient” layer.Change the foreground color to #00a2ff and the background color to #383838.Select the Blend Tooland apply a gradient from top to bottom of the text on the “text gradient” layer.Go to Select Deselect.Merge all the layers (Layer Merge Down) that make up the text logo. Now add a shadow to the text.Go to Filters Light and Shadow Drop Shadow. Set the X & Y radii to 20 and the blur radius to 0.Uncheck allow resizing. Set the opacity to 70%. Hit ok.Merge the text (Layer Merge Down) with the shadow. Our logo is done.

Step 4Select the Perspective ToolClick on Transform. Alter the perspective of the logo so that it matches that of the wall.Step 5Set the layer mode of the logo's layer to Overlay.At this point, the logo looks a little too sharp to be a logo. Let's fix that. Duplicate the logo's layer(Layer Duplicate Layer). Move the duplicate layer underneath the original text layer. Go toFilters Blur Gaussian Blur. Enter 30 for both values. Hit ok.Right click the original “text” layer and choose the Alpha to Selection option(Layer Transparency Alpha to Selection). Now, click on the new duplicate layer and press the smalldelete button (above the arrows).

Step 6Merge the “text” layer with the layer beneath it. Use the eraser tool on both logo layers to erase the parts ofthe logo covering the pole.Step 7I decided the image needed another effect. Go to Edit Copy Visible (this will copy the original imageand the text). Then go to Edit Paste As New Layer. On the new layer that just popped up, go toFilters Blur Gaussian Blur. Enter 10 for both values and hit ok. Set the Layer mode to Overlay .This will make the image pop with color.

ConclusionThere you have it. A simple way to create some graffiti. Just remember that you should never use a smoothwall- only textured/rough ones. Makes the effect more realistic.-Sarah Davison (SGlider12) 2009 sglider12.blogspot.com
