Hi and welcome to my intermediate GIMP course.

Go Beyond the Basics

In this course, we go beyond the basics of producing a simple book cover using the GIMP as introduced in my course “GIMP for Beginners: Design Free Book Covers: Self-publishing”. The intermediate course material provided here should propel your GIMP graphics to the next level.  This course represents a grab bag of tips and tricks that every GIMP user should know.  So, take your GIMP skills to the next level with this tips and techniques resources pack for flushing out your graphics toolkit.

Learn Tips and Techniques for Advanced Text Handling

Learn my favorite techniques for formatting text for presentation on the web. Whether it’s a book cover, album cover, web graphic, or logo, I’ll show you the techniques required to make your images shine.  And of course, there’s always colored boxes to consider.

Here, in this intermediate course, I go well beyond the basics to teach you the refined art of GIMP graphics.  Please note that I recommend you possess at least the knowledge in my GIMP book cover course to get the most out of this course.

Send questions and comments to Q&A.  Have fun with the course and keep in touch.

I’ll see you in the classroom,

—Brian
