How to Make Advanced Sigs With GIMP
,
To make a signature tag for
digital correspondences such as email, use the free software GIMP. The
free editor will allow you to create an advanced, multi-layer workbook,
which can be flattened into one layer and saved as a picture file. Use a
standard extension such as JPG, which can be inserted into a
wide-variety of software suites. Your sig tag can be colorful or
conservative, playful or sophisticated; the design scheme is completely
up to you.
Instructions
1
Launch GIMP and create a new
workbook by clicking "File" and "New." Insert custom dimensions such as a
width of 600 pixels and a height of 100 pixels. Click "Advanced
Options" and choose a "Fill Width" of "White." Click "OK," and your
workbook will load.
2
Select the "Filters" tab and
click "Decor" and "Add Border." A settings dialog will appear. Insert
"10" for the X and Y border sizes. Click the "Border Color" box and
select a shade from the given options. Click "OK" in the settings dialog
and the border will be inserted.
3
Click the "Text Tool" in the
main toolbox and click within the workbook to launch a text box. Use the
bottom-half of the toolbox to adjust the font, size and color of the
text box. Type the first line of your signature tag into the text box
such as your first and last name. If you need to re-position the text,
click the "Move Tool" and double-click and drag your text to where you
want it to sit.
4
Click the "Text Tool" again and
click where you want a second text line to appear. Insert your
professional title along with your company name, if desired. You can
change the font, size and color of this text box without affecting the
previous box inserted.
5
Click "File" and "Open as Layer"
to insert a graphic of your company logo, if desired. Re-size the logo
as needed by clicking "Layer" and "Scale Layer." Click the down arrow to
decrease the size of your inserted graphic, clicking "OK" when
satisfied.
6
Right-click in the Layers dialog
on any layer and click "Flatten Image." Your background, border and
text boxes will all be merged into a single layer.
