Rubix Cube
1) Open Gimp with a new image 300x300px (white background is ok).
2) Fill the background with a checkboard pattern (Filters / Render / Pattern / Checkboard). Size 100px. You should get something like this: 3) Now we will make a grid. Go to Filters / Edge-Detect / Edge Algorithm: Sobel Amount: 2 Smear 4) Invert the colors (Colors / Invert) 5) Now we have a black grid on a white background and we want to make a border around the image. Go to Image / Canvas size. (304x304px) 6) Select the Move tool (M on keyboard) and center the image. If you are able to handle this step with a mouse than ok, but I used arrows on my keyboard, twice right and twice down. 7) Now create a new layer. Select Bucket fill tool (Shift+B), Select all image (Ctrl+A) and fill the image with black. Than move this new black layer down and deselect all (Ctrl+Shift+A). You should get this result: 8) Now fill the image with some random colors, i used these (green [307617], blue [173d76], red [ff0000], white [ffffff], yellow [aecb0e]). After that, merge the layer down so you get only one layer. 9) Now we are going to make a cube. (Filters / Map / Map object) Use following values, but feel free to change it :p Options/Map to: Box Options/Transparent background checked Options/Enable antialiasing (default) Light/Lightsource type: Point light Orientation/Position (default) Orientation/Rotation X: 30,0 Y: 45,0 Z: 0,0 10) Voila, the cube is done, but you can continue with 3 more steps to make it better :p. 11) Go to a dialog with layers, right-click on the layer you have there (there should be only one now) and click Alhpa to selection. Than go Select, Grow (1px). Create a new layer, fill it black and move it down. Deselect all (Ctrl+Shift+A). 12) Go to Filters / Light and Shadow / Drop Shadow. (0, 0, 8, black, opacity 80) 13) Add a new layer and move it on the bottom. Create some gradient, something like this, which is the final result: Did anyone figure it out?

Cool tutorial! My only criticism is that the colors of the stickers should be logically chosen; that is, each face has a different colored center piece, a sticker cannot appear in the same position on multiple faces, edge pieces and corner pieces cannot have any same-colored stickers, etc. etc. I think it's important that the arrangment of stickers in the final product is possible to replicate on an actual cube.

Someone's doing it for their demonstration speech? That would be really difficult to explain every turn you do and nobody would understand a word that came out of your mouth .

Our speeches were supposed to be 3-5 minutes long, no more than 5 min and no less than 3 min. It took the person that was doing the Rubix Cube 11 minutes! xD He got like a C+ on his speech though...
