GIMP: Design Demonstrations

As an experiment with gradients in GIMP 2.0, the open source-alternative to Photoshop, these works would go on to inspire the evolving design of my Portfolio. I was studying basic design concepts, using techniques for designing graphics through layers and understanding of the interface.

Some other ideas developed include editing text as a figure, examining how background interacts with foreground, using solid colors to create form, building perspective, and creating emotion out of repetition and manipulating color levels.

See what came out of my design experiments:
