Journal Entry: Tue Jan 13, 2009, 3:22 PM
Well, I've just submitted my first print of the inspire wallpaper, and I will be ecstatic if anyone buys any at all, I could really do with 7p. Maybe I'll just buy one myself to make me happy :D

To be honest, there's a lot of art and graphics coursework I could really be getting on with, but that isn't anywhere near as fun as DA, or sleeping. In fact I might go to sleep in a minute. That should make for a thrilling journal entry, eh?

Hello again. I attempted that gradient overlay on Gimp like you said and it definitely did not work. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Could you possibly give me step-by-step instructions on that part? Preferably in simple terms so I don't mess up again. Haha If so that would be awesome. Thanks a million! :]

Sure, I'm guessing you're trying to do it on text and brushes at the same time?
- Type your text in a colour that's easy to see. It will automatically be on its own transparent layer.
- Make a new transparent layer, and use the paintbrush tool to put brushes wherever you want.
Hint: You can make a new transparent layer for each brush if you feel you might need to change or delete some, or you can put them all on one layer. It generally makes things easier if you do the brushes in the same colour as the text.
- Merge together all the layers that you want to put the gradient on (usually right click top layer-> merge down).
- Right click this merged layer and choose alpha to select.
-Make a new transparent layer, and use the blend tool to drag a gradient across the selection you just made. You will need to change the preset options to rainbow, or whatever kind of colours you want.

Hope this works for you, if not, just say exactly what happens when you try, and I'll have a go at figuring it out lol.

THIS IS A HUG CERTIFICATE!

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!


If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends

If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)

If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.

If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!
