Davies Media Design | Surprisingly Easy Layered Text Effect in GIMP @DaviesMediaDesign | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 6 hours ago
In this tutorial, I show you how to create a cool text effect that makes it appear as if your text is tucked underneath wavy lines throughout your image. This gives your text a neat 3D appearance and makes your lettering more eye-catching. The best part? This technique is really easy to do and requires only built-in filters and features in GIMP, the free photo editor!
