Templates Design: using open source materials

Hi all,
I decided to keep you informed about my current investigations and work on the iMailShot application.
I have now finalized the application framework so that I can now concentrate on the templates.

Templates have to meet several requisites:
  • Each picture has to be licence free, so I often use the Wikimedia website to find my background pics.
  • Each template has to be original and eye catching, so I heavy use Gimp to enrich the content of the templates
I am currently working on the brush feature of Gimp: I found several websites that propose free brushes for Gimp (Gimp > 2.6 accepts Photoshop brushes btw) like BrushEzzy or FreeBrushes

A brush effect alone is not that sexy to use alone, so I often use it as a basis for the mapping feature of Gimp, thus you can have very beautiful embossing effects on your bakcgrounds.

I also found very usefull informations about perspective effects : yet, Gimp has the feature built-in but the user is still responsible to define the line of horizon and the creepage. Here the french website Bases du Dessin helps (if you speak french :)

See ya
