GIMP Experts Needed!

So, I am looking for a Gimp expert. I guess you could use another software, but Gimp is the only one I know.  tongue

What I want you to do, is make me a Youtube Channel background. If you have never done this before, it's okay. It is quite simple. All you need to be good at is Gimp, or any other editing software.

I have a picture that I will link you to once you have accepted this.

The picture contains two colors: White & Gray. The Gray I want replaced with a desgin. (More design info below) And the White I want you to not even touch. That is where my videos and stuff go.

Design info:

I want the design/theme to be pretty cool. I want it to have the colors shown below:

Blue, Green, Black, Red, Yellow, Pink, Orange, Teal.

Note: It does not have to contain all of those colors, just some of them.

   Text info

Now, I want the text color to be one of the colors above, and I want all of the below text to be shown on the channel page:

- AllDayKade28471

- SUBSCRIBE!

- Designed by: (Enter Your Username Here)

I want the text above to be goofy, and fun. Remember, this is completly your idea. Have fun with it.

Once you are finished with this, post a link to the finished picture and I probably will keep giving you suggestions to improve it. Once I do not have any more suggestions, I will put this on my channel, and give you all of the below:

- A shoutout on my next video.

- A sub (if you have a YouTube)

- And forever promotion (my background will have your Username on it)

- An upvote on scratchrank.tk

- If you want me to do anything else, I will try! Don't be afraid to ask!  smile

If you have ANY questions, PLEASE ask below!

If you really want to start doing this challenge, google "YouTube Template 2012", click on one of the videos, download the link, and start Gimping!  smile

HAVE FUN!  big_smile

Re: GIMP Experts Needed!

Hmmm... Both of you could work on it together.

Since he answered first, he could start. Then give it to you.

You could finish it, maybe?


I don't know...

Anyway, here is the link: http://i.imgur.com/T1oeO.png

Re: GIMP Experts Needed!

*UPDATE:

The Gray I want you to work on. Not the white! Do not touch the White!

Since he is not on at the moment, you could start doing it now if you wanted.  smile

Remember: Put a design on GRAY and do not touch the WHITE.

Edit: Btw, your sig is epic!  big_smile

Thank you! And, yeah, I saw your update. Thought it seemed a little backwards to work on the white.  tongue
I can't start on it right now; I'm at school. But I will start ASAP.
And as a side note, do you want any sort of animal on it? I'm okay at animals. If you feel up to it, you could search through the first three-or-so pages of the Request forum to find my old signature shop. I have lots of examples of art linked on the first post.  wink

I don't really want any animals because that would look kind of random on my channel.  tongue

Do you know how to input a design using GIMP? Because I first want a Design on all of the white, then I want you to add text. Remember: Go crazy with the Font!  smile

I have no idea what you have in mind, but currently I have a scale pattern of red with 6 blue/purple watercolor stripes going across...and the text:

"SHOWING NOW:   (teal)
alldaykade28741     (black)

-Subscibe now! (pink)


Made by mythbusteranimator (orange)"

On the right side.

Can you capitalize the N in now? Just looks better.  tongue

And capitalize me like this: AllDayKade28471. Again, it just looks better.  tongue

Are the text fonts fun, and creative?

Well, the font, Showcard Gothic, is a capatalized font. I chose it because it is quirky and unique.

Whoa, nice font choice!

Wait, are you done?

Oh, and by the way. Can you put at least some text on the left? Also, have my username verticle down, pretty close to the gray, but not touching. Can you do that for me?

Re: GIMP Experts Needed!

I'm done~
I hope it's okay. I do realize that it's pretty plain, but I wanted to make it attractive without being too distracting. If you feel that my name is also too imposing, I can make it blend better.  wink
(As a side note - good gravy! I had no idea that the template was that huge! 8O )

YouTube background
I included the colors teal, yellow, blue, green, and black, because those were the ones that went together best.  smile
(Ugh! It keeps resizing the picture. Is there any other way I can get it to you? I've tried uploading it to Tinypic and Imgur, but it either was resized or was converted to a jpeg, and I don't want either of that.  hmm  )

THAT LOOKS EPIC.

Can you do one thing, though?

I can't read the bottom right text. Maybe have it a color (such as black) that doesn't blend so easily. Also, make that text bigger.  smile

After you do all that, I'll be sure to see it well.  smile

Edit: Wait, you arleady did Black... Maybe have that text purple, or red?

Edit2: I tried to put that as my YouTube Backround, and it did not work... I think it is that re-sizing thing. I have no idea how to fix that.

I dunno, I'm stumped.  hmm
And yeah, I'll make the text at the bottom easier to see. It just said "Design by Zangooser on Scratch" and then had the url to my Scratch page.  wink
