Chapter 27
Gimp Makes A Logo
In this appendix, we use Gimp 2.8 to demonstrate how to create an image
like a logo from scratch, without using a photograph. A portion of the image
will be transparent.
When such an image is displayed on a webpage, the part that is transparent
will show the colors behind the image, whatever would have been there if
the image were not.
This can be particularly helpful for logos or trademarks because they can
be displayed on any page without worrying about the background color or
texture of that page.
From the menu, I selectGimp Menu:
File / New.
I specify the size, here 600 by 600 pixels,
and click on “OK.”
