How to Make an Inspiration Board in Gimp

As promised, here is my tutorial on how to make an inspiration board in Gimp.

Ye be forewarned, this post is long and image heavy!

If you've never used Gimp, it can be really intimidating. It is basically a free version of Photoshop, though I haven't used Photoshop in years so I couldn't tell you how similar they are.

Here is what our final product will look like:

 

All you need is: Gimp (you can download it here) and a little patience.

Inspiration Board: A Little More Detail!

I thought I'd give you a little more detail on the inspiration board I posted before. Here it is again:

I used GIMP to make my inspiration board and I'm using it for tons of other wedding design projects. If you've never used it, it's like free photoshop. It's not intuitive and not very easy, but with practice and lots of googling, you can create some pretty awesome projects with it. I'm hoping to put together a tutorial on making an inspiration board in GIMP soon!

Sooo... *awkward silence*

I want to be a good blogger, but lately I've been sucking... big time.

Let me make a few excuses for myself. Our wedding will be in the Summer or Fall of 2011. That's quite some time from now. We just are not at a point where we're making big decisions. We don't have a date, a venue or really much at all planned. I'm also a full time student and I work part time, which doesn't leave a lot of time in my life for other things like blogging. But, in the interest of full disclosure, I still spend a lot of time doing wedding research and preliminary planning so I really should have things to write about.

I've also been switching back and forth between accounts on blogger and wordpress. I'm still not completely sure which account I'll stick with, but for now I'm back with blogger.

But I do have something good to show you today! (don't be so shocked!)

I made an inspiration board!!


We're hoping for a wedding that is earthy, romantic and a little rustic. I love, love, love everything about this board. I love the colors.. I love the feel of it. I made it without collaborating with FI and only showed him when it was finished to see what he thought. What was the first thing he said? "What's with that gray suit?" *sigh* I love the idea of the men in light gray suits, but FI isn't sold on it. Otherwise he said he liked it so as of now it's our plan.

Did you create an inspiration board?
