? ? Part 2 - Create a new image

And press OK, this should give you something like this:

Moon Rock came to us and wanted a ?cliché web 2.0 design?. Basically that means they were asking for gradients, mirrored surfaces, reflections, and shiny or glossy images. To begin the logo, I created a gradient background. Select one color of gray as the foreground and another as the background. Then choose the gradient tool and drag it vertically from the top of the image to the bottom. Play around with this for a little to get a feel for the tool. Once that was completed, I used the text tool to write moon in blue and then rock in pink. I then chose the dodge/burn tool to alternately dodge and burn the pink letters:

7-10+ hours

Finally we are going to add a lens reflection. Create a new Layer, call it Lens Reflection and fill it with black. I want to place it on the top of my letter so I need the position. Just move your mouse to the top of the image an on the left bottom of the gimp window you can see the position. Mine is 540;190 so go on Filters ->Light and Shadow ->Lens Flare with the values 540px and 190px. Set the Layer mode to Screen an you are done!
