Hey gimp users, I'm pretty new to gimp myself but one of the cool things I've learned is how to make a splatter tag. It's a pretty fun and unique style so I thought I'd post it here in case anyone wants to learn.

RESULT:

TUTORIAL:

1) First go to File->New. My document is 200 width, 150 height.
2) Open your Layers dialog (Ctrl+L)
3) Right click your background layer and click "Add Alpha Channel".
Here's what it looks like:

4) Now take out a brush. Splatter looks the best but anything will work.
5) Choose the eraser tool.
6) Brush on your document. You'll see a checkerboard pattern appear.
It should look something like this now:

7) Now, go to File->Open as Layers and select your render.
Now you'll have a new layer on top of the background layer you brushed on.

9) Now, click your newest layer with the render in it and drag it underneath the background layer.
Your Render should appear where you erased in the original layer, looking all cool and splattery. Now use your move tool and move your render around to a nice position.
Here's what you should see if you've followed my directions.

Now just add text and you're all done!

So that's it for my super-simple-splatter-tutorial. The result won't blow any minds,
but it's still pretty cool, in my opinion.
Hope you enjoyed and learned something new. Please post your results I'd love to see them!

If you have any questions just let me know =]

History in her solemn page informs us that the crusaders were but ignorant and savage men, that their motives were those of bigotry unmitigated, and that their pathway was one of blood and tears. Romance, on the other hand, dilates upon their piety and heroism, and portrays, in her most glowing and impassioned hues, their virtue and magnanimity, the imperishable honor they acquired for themselves, and the grea services they rendered to Christianity.

You have to put it in your fonts folder.

C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

Ie Start, My Computer, C, Windows, and look for Fonts (it should be in alphabetical order)

Oh, and don't forget to extract the fonts if they come in winrar format.
