Making a Desktop Wallpaper #3

The next step is selecting your typefaces, and the layout of your text.  This takes some patience and quite a bit of general messing around until you think it looks good.  It has helped me considerably to look at other designer's work, and glean tidbits of what really stands out as GOOD design.

Again, my apologies for not doing this in the GIMP.  The next tutorial that I do, I'm going to give you all a chance to come up with your own versions, then I'll post the results! :-)  So fire your image editing programs up, and get ready!!!
