Graffiti

Edited an image by applying graffiti to it.  I used the following tutorials:

- http://gimp-tutorials.net/Graffiti-Tutorial

- http://dodisdodat.com/gimp-latest/162-gimp-how-to-apply-a-logo-to-a-textured-image.html?showall=1

The first tutorial teaches you how to layer text to create an outlined graffiti look.  By using Alpha selection, you can grow the text and fill in the growth on another layer to produce the outline.  Also, a dimpled gradient was used to add some black within the text.  The perspective tool helps modify the text to appear in the same angle as the wall.  A light and shadow > drop shadow filter was used to create the drop shadow. In the second tutorial, it shows how to add texture to the text through a Map > Bump Map filter.

This was my third image I edited.  The other two didn't really come out the way I wanted.  I'm sure there are ways I could improve on this but this will be accomplished in future tutorials.

Comments, feedback and suggestions are welcome.
