Text line on your background I will try to explain how I made this,I've kept it as simple as possibly to make not mistakes myself because English is not my language
this is a good basis, afterwards you can experiment yourself to make a nicer pictureopen gimp and make a black background 1000x600
01-then create a new transparent layer
02-click in tools on the Text tool letter A
03- select a font (I chose sans bold) and set the size to 30
04-choose a color (I chose c79a4b) any color is good because we do later an over lay
05-type your text (My text is gimpchat) and repeat until the line is full plus one more time,
This is then passed the background, but we move it later select your text layer and
01-Duplicate your text layer
02-select your move tool click on your text and slide it under the first text line
03-slide the second line of text to the left (or right) this gives a better effect
that was also the reason that the text line should be longer than the background 01-click now on the transparent layer and the black background the eyes out by clicking on the eyes select a text layer, right-click on the text layer and
01-merge visible layers make the eyes visible again by clicking on the eyes
01-duplceer the text layer
02-select your move tool click on your text and move it below the top text layer duplicate the text layer again and slide it under the layer above
Do this again and again until the background layer is completely filled with your text 01-click the eye of your background layer out
02-select your transparent layer, right click on that layer
03-merge visible layers Click the eye of the background layer back on01-click on the text layer right
02-layer to image size Now I get a picture under water (you can use any image that you like)
01-place it above your text layer 01-put in your layers dialogue the mode to overlay
02-overlay Now you will see in your text a color change
The outcome depends on the type of image you are using Now go to your tools and click on the text tool A01-choose text font (I chose keep on truckin ')
02-choose the size (depends on your text)
03-type your text on your image Now go to your tools and click
01-the perspective tool
02-go to your image and create a perspective of your text
03-If you are satisfied, click Transform Go to your layer dialog and check that the text layer is above all layers
01-Now click on the mode
02-click overlay You will now see your text, but it is not so clear
duplicate your text layer two to three times, now you will see your text clear over the background charactersYou may NOT merge the layers 01-Create a new transparent layer
02-select the paths tool
03-make a design on your image with the paths tool
I made a simple design, you can bend the lines to your own ideas when you have finished your design then press the enter key on your keyboard
your design is now selectedNow 01-select your paint bucket
02-select a bright color
03-click once in the center of your design, it now gets the color of your choice Now go to Select and then x none
01-set the mode to Overlay and duplicate the layer two to three times
Your image is now ready  Now you know the basics, you can now experiment with designs of your choice
lots of fun
