Tutorial GIMP: Make a text pattern

Hi all friends, have a nice day and can do activities as usual. On this occasion I want to go back to share knowledge about using an open source image-based manipulation application that is GIMP.
I will not explain anymore what is GIMP and its basic tutorials, because I have made some previous tutorials related to it. On this occasion I want to share knowledge about making a text that has a style or often called a pattern.

As always I will try to explain the tutorial I made as easy and simple as possible so that everyone can understand it easily. Therefore in every tutorial I will give you a sample image that you can follow easily. Here are some simple steps to make the text has a style or pattern.

• Take pictures that we will make a style on our writing. Kalin can do Drop & Drag or via Import file by click file >> open and select the picture we want.
  

• Type the text we want to give the pattern with the text tools. Here you should note that the text layer must be above the image layer we imported the first time, or our next steps will not work
  Then set the text position according to the applied style of the existing photo

• Next we will give the selection on the text, but before that we must make the path of the text first. The trick right click on the text screen and select test to path
  

• Then go back to the image work screen, click the image layer on the right menu, then click select on the top menu bar and choose From Path
  

• Now that we have the selected text, it looks like the image below with the moving lines on the side of the text
  

• Next still on image layer with selected text we do duplicate by click command ctrl + C on keyboard. Next still on image layer with selected text we do duplicate by click command ** ctrl + C ** on keyboard. Then paste the duplicate by right click or click Edit >> Paste as >> New layer on the menu bar
  

• And finally we now have a style on the text we created earlier. To remove the former selection we did earlier, click select >> none on the menu bar
  

• Done and we have successfully applied the pattern to the text according to the image we want, then the result will be like this (another layer on hide, click eye icon on layer menu)
  

Then a little extra to beautify our work, we will give background to the text. But the provision of this background depends on our individual tastes, or we can also apply to other images that we want to edit further. But here I will just give an example to provide a simple background, with a white background and followed by the addition of gradient to be more colorful.

The steps are as follows

• Create a new background layer below the text layer we created earlier. How to click meu layer >> new layer it will display new command screen and click white on Layer Fill Type
  

• Then the last gradient in the background by clicking on the gradient icon on the left side menu. You can choose or create a gradient that suits your individual taste, then the end result of our work will be like this
  

Such is the stage or how to create a text pattern through GIMP application, how very simple and easy if we follow the tutorial. How, if interested in making text patterns malalui GIMP application, do as an example that I have given.

So my brief writing on this occasion, may we be given the opportunity to write again in the days that follow. Thank you for following my simple tutorial, hopefully this tutorial can be useful for all friends. Best regards from me !!
