In this GIMP text effects tutorial for beginners, I show you how to create an awesome wavy text effect using built-in filters. I also show you how to evenly distribute text on your image and create stroked text. Whether you're creating "groovy" 60's style text, or a more modern composition, you'll enjoy the technique covered in this video. Spruce up your typography with this text tutorial featuring the Gnu Image Manipulation Program!
This free photo editor will surprise you with its catalogue of graphic design-friendly filters and features. I spotlight the Whirl and Pinch filter for this tutorial, though there are tons more at your disposal.
