Place I've Never Been

As a history major, France is one of my favorite countries to study, and it’s  one of the top places on my list of countries to visit, so I had to do this assignment.

I made this in GIMP. As usual, I racked my brain trying to think of something to design, and, as usual, I can come with ideas, but I can’t necessarily create them. I searched Google for tutorials and ideas. After looking at a few I played around with some of them. While doing that I realized that I liked it. I used the image of the map of Paris as my background image, and added a new layer to paste in the image of the Eiffel Tower. On the “Layers” toolbar on the right hand side I changed the “Mode” from “Normal” to “Darken” which made the Eiffel Tower stand out. I changed the opacity of the map, to make it stand out even more. I then uploaded it to Flickr and played around with a few different fonts in Picnik. Very simple process.
