GIMP Complete: GIMP Graphic Design, Book Covers and Drawing

Description

Learn GIMP photo touch up from a photographer or GIMP graphic design, book covers and drawing from a graphic illustrator.  My name is Brian Jackson.  I began using the GIMP in 1990, around when my competition was born.  Trust me, the GIMP is far more than a photo touch up tool.

Hello and welcome to my course, GIMP Complete: GIMP Graphic Design, Book Covers and Drawing, the longest and most comprehensive GIMP course on Udemy.

The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a free Photoshop like graphic design software program that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux.

This 40+ hour course is a merge of all 6 of my GIMP courses along with a short course on setting up a WordPress website to display your graphics. I built this course by merging the following Udemy courses:

GIMP 2.8/2.10 Beginner-Advanced: Free on Windows/MacOS/Linux
A comprehensive course addressing all features of the GIMP.

GIMP for Beginners: Free Book Covers with Free Images
A course focusing on creating book covers with the GIMP.

GIMP Intermediate: Free GIMP Graphic Design Software
A course containing tips and tricks, an extension to GIMP for Beginners.

GIMP Advanced: Free Graphic Design and 3D Book Covers
Advanced GIMP features, including water reflections and ripples and creating 3D book covers.

GIMP/HTML: WordPress Website Development with HTML and GIMP
How to use HTML to display and configure GIMP images.

GIMP Digital Drawing: Free GIMP with a Budget Tablet
A course on how to use the GIMP to draw with a tablet and stylus.

Create a WordPress Blog Website: WordPress Blog Step-by-Step
A short course on creating a WordPress website to display your GIMP image.

In this course, I take you all the way from installing the GIMP to producing banners, book covers and memes that you'll display using Facebook and other social media platforms. I discuss the use of GIMP with WordPress and HTML. I'll even show you photo touch up and how to draw with the GIMP. In fact, I show you everything I know in the natural order in which you should learn it.

In this course, you'll learn:

• Install and configure the GIMP

• Create banners and memes for display on social media

• Where to find free images on the Internet

• Photo touch up

• Use the clone tool to touch up images

• Use layers to produce complex images

• Use layer masks, bump maps and gradients

• Write circular text and text along any path

• Create free book covers using free images

• Create free 3D box sets and 3D book covers

• Create reflections and rippling water

• Use HTML and WordPress to display your images on a web page

• How to draw with the GIMP using an inexpensive tablet and stylus

• Learn how to install your own WordPress website

• And much, much more…

I ask you; can you afford just 30 minutes a day for a few weeks to learn the most powerful free graphics program (maybe) in the world?

Here's what I recommend you do...

You can preview all the lectures in the first and second sections of this course for free.  Watch the first couple of sections and if you like them, enroll in the course.  If you don't like them, then thank you for your time and I wish you the best.

I'll see you in the classroom,
