    You do SUCH a good job of not assuming that people already know certain things. You explain it just in case. As a beginner, this is so comforting. Thank you!

      Yeah it's frustrating to see so many tutorials that assume so much pre-requisite knowledge. I love Nick's tutorials

    Great video, a few workflow tips.
    1. ctrl-shift-a to select none.
    2. Instead of making two rects/circles, you can use select-shrink to clear the inside of a selection. It also allows you to control the size of the border with pixel precision.

    Just wanted to say thank you for making these tutorials. I've been watching a few videos each night just before bed and not only is my knowledge of what's possible going up but even my ideas and creativity go up. Thank you a bunch!

    This is the best GIMP tutorial I have seen on youtube so far. Also explains a lot about how layers work in GIMP. Thank you.

    Thank you for putting all this free content out here. I have NEVER done ANY design work and I've watched and worked along with two of your videos and created both images. I am so excited to keep learning and creating!

    @mammi7699 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I really appreciated the fact that while this tutorial and the logo we are making is super simple and easy, it tremendously focuses on how the layer mechanics work. Im amazed by how helpful this is, you earned a serious subscriber sir!🔥🔥🔥

    I’ve learned so much from your tutorials. I feel like I have a decent grasp on Gimp, Inkscape on the other hand, not so much haha. Thank you for uploading these videos!

  • @themoprhingorb
    @themoprhingorb 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    It's better practice to not deselect after creating the circle and then shrinking the selection. That way you are sure the center is not skewed ;) Thanks for sharing your insight on this! Much appreciated!

  • @sebastianstephenson4272
    @sebastianstephenson4272 ปีที่แล้ว

    after you fill the circle, you can do "select > shrink" then delete for a more precise size

    I have managed to make this logo on Inkscape. First as a circle and as a rectangle, we convert them to path, break nodes, after that convert stroke to path to move away the lines.

  • @Forseti2
    @Forseti2 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's impressive that you can do it (and have patience) in Gimp, but I would encourage people to do this kind of jobs in vectors - let's say in Inkscape.

    Nick, I just found your channel and I LOVE it! Thank you. I've been using gimp for designing logos and you are by far the best at tutorials. Keep up the good work. Question: on a Mac, delete on the keyboard does not work and I'm trying to delete the cirlcet 7:09. Do you know another way? cut or clear is not working.

      any solution?

    • @jaymaccool
      @jaymaccool ปีที่แล้ว

      On a mac use "Fn" + "Backspace". That is equivalent to the "Del" key.

  • @tomelegeert2037
    @tomelegeert2037 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just one question and one remark.
    1) Why was it to your opinion better to draw this logo in Gimp instead of Inkscape?
    2) A simpler way to design the square and circle would be like so: draw the circle with oval selection tool -> Edit -> Stroke Selection

    • @LogosByNick
      @LogosByNick  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      1.) I didn't say it was. I get a lot of requests to create logo tutorials with GIMP, so I made one.
      2.) That method only works in theory. In reality, when you stroke a selection with GIMP the thickness of the resulting line is wildly inconsistent.
