Many of you have already written me emails and I asked them to help, how to create even a monogram.
of course I'll help you! And just tried to make an illustrated guide. I was trying to explain it as simple as possible.
So to create a monogram, you need first of all an image editing program.
I use Gimp to , a so-called open source (freeware).
so shall look at the end:
Let's start.
Step 1
Opens Gimp. You will see a new picture.
First you ghet the Text tool (This is the "A") and chooses her now your desired fonts.
writes in the text box you now, as large as possible, the first letter in my case the "B"
Step 2
VERY important! This step is very important in Gimp, because be more or less to process all images and that is the levels ! Now we want
namely the 2 Insert letters. This is her on the Werzeugkasten (the thing where all the tools are). In the tool box in the middle part, so-called riders, something like Kartein. There, you go to the tab levels. This is anyway the best view!
Then at the bottom to draw on the white sheet a new level . There and only there, the second letter is pure. This level then you can move back and forth. You too can they push behind the first letter, if you think that looks better. For this you have to change the planes in the toolbox.
Step 3
Also an important step, because now we create depth. This is very simple, in which we share, of everything on the first letter, simply erase it. In my examples, therefore, be part of the "L" erased easily. To do this you take the eraser.
Warning: looks that it really erased at the right level!
Step 4
is the most important made it! Congratulations! : D
are now nu still little things. First you create a new layer again (step 2). In this
now writes her name from the words "Benjamin & Lydia".
Then again a new layer, and the date. These two levels of her moves as long as you back and forth to her the position that you like best optical table.
AND READY!!
Two very important tips:
Tip 1: If you your monogram on again and again what you want to edit, save it in jpg not cover (ie, not hochzeitsmonogram.jpg) Special xcf as ! ! This is an art project that the entire image file that stores all its levels as you see it just before you! For as a jpg, it is a finished picture what you no really can change everything.
Tip 2: If you want a transparent background, so I have no white in my example, you'll have to a) produce a layer is transparent and sliding all the way down, so she is from the bottom first! Transparent pass a level created her by her at Ebenenfüllart a tick in " Transparentz " sets. AND you shall not in jpg but must save it as png ! For jpg knows no tranparentz!
I hope you could you all understand very well and are now busy creating your monograms on:) If
you want you can send me your results, which I would then post it here.
If something is unclear, simply write a comment, I try as far as I can the questions to answer:)
