Sorry about this text below. I know it looks really bad but today is the only day I had time to do this and I am in a hurry so I just applied some effect and uploaded it. The point is for me to understand how to do things isnt it?

I might try the second one again. I am not to pleased with the results of the 2nd pic.

I nave problems with this:
Nothing happens. I have tried different layers and copy-pasting and such.Step 4
Now we'll want to add some depth to the text's look. This can be done with the Bump Map feature of GIMP. First I'll bump map the text layer by itself - to do that you must make sure that you have chosen the right layer (see the top right corner of the Bump Map window). Play with the "Depth" and "Ambient" values a little once you'll get the result you want. I have also set the "X offset" to -1 to move the bump map one pixel left. That adds a little to the "3D" impression:
Anyway, I did this:
But without depth its meh...

@Legio: Good, but you should create a graphical text as well.

@NekoGenijalan: Nice work and an interesting gradient choice.
@edse: Very good, I like the ragged text!
@Soarin': Excellent, but you should blur the border of the first one in my opinion.
@Kameraden: Great, but the same thing applies on you as well - blur the border, if possible.
I linked you to dafont already in the lesson content, but well, here you go with a couple of sites for finding fonts.Originally Posted by Willowran
Exactly. More specific instructions can be viewed in the OP.Originally Posted by Bolkonsky
@The Norseman: Great, the border of the "FIFA" text looks very nice and smooth.
@King William the Conqueror: Good. On the second image you have cut the shadow off - pay attention to that next time. It happens very easily as I stated already on the previous lesson.
It happens with GIMP at times - I don't know what it is caused by, but I think it's the same problem as you have. Try reopening the image and/or playing around with the values - especially X and Y offset, Waterlevel, Depth and Ambience.I nave problems with this

@Legio: You should still bump map the text, and preferably blur the text border.
The basic steps of text creating are:
1. Create the text (quite obvious)
2. Set the colour of the text, or use a gradient
3. Add a drop shadow
4. Add a border
5. Bump map the text with itself (or use the Layer Effects Filter plug-in)
6. Bump map the text with a wooden, metal or rock texture for example
There's not a "right" order for these, though, but you should always apply "5" before "6". Otherwise you won't bump map the text with itself, but with the already bump mapped text, and thus your result would look quite clumsy with the bump map getting bump mapped again.
