I found tutorial create colorful typography with photoshop from Grafisia.com so i try to create in gimp free software design. Imagine if this world there is only black and white, it would be boring. Colors will be more beautiful if we are able to harmonize within a work. In this tutorial i want to match colors to create colorful typography. I use color reference from colorlovers. I think this tutorial, can be a reference in logo making of a design company or plural comunity logo.

Creat new image, file > new. Image size width : 1500 px height : 1000 px. Fill with white colour (#ffffff).

Step 2

g #7e9c84
o #c6b07f
g #dfc4a7
i #c6734b
m #b65e54
p #c6b07f

Arrange the font position so the position like this.
