Course Description
Learn the GIMP from the Ground Up
In this course I'll show you how to use the Gnu Image Manipulation
Program (GIMP), a free Photoshop like program, to produce professional
looking, high quality graphics on a budget. The course uses the creation
of book covers for self-publishing as the basis for demonstrating the
use of the program. The techniques demonstrated can be used to create
stunning graphics for any purpose including display on the Web.
GIMP Easily Explained:
Excellent course with detailed explanations on how to use GIMP to create fabulous book covers. Thank you!
-Maria Oquendo
This course provides material suitable for the absolute beginner
and includes information on how to install all required tools and
resources. It then goes on to show you how to use those components to
produce unique, professional looking, and high quality graphics suitable
for use as book covers for self-publishing. The course includes
information on graphic composition that can be used to cause the most
important elements of your image stand out.
Note:
I demonstrate the use of the GIMP on a PC running Microsoft Windows 7.
If you're a Linux or Mac user, the GIMP is also available to you, and
information in this course beyond installation is fully applicable.
Sell More of Anything with Professional Looking Graphics
Though you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, the truth is that
most people do exactly that. Why not produce the best impression you
can by displaying stunning graphics mixed with text. Whether you're
selling books or some other product, graphics that can capture the
customer's attention will give you a leg up in differentiating yourself
from your competition.
