: How to make material design imagery with GIMP all. I want to create material design imagery for my website, but don't have flashy tools like Photoshop or Illustrator. However, I do have GIMP

@Michele215

You do not need "flashy" tools. You can do flat design even in Microsoft Paint, which is the simplest program ever.

You can simply use the Path tool to make a shape, convert it to a selection and fill it with a color or gradient. Here's a tutorial.

But in reality using GIMP is the wrong approach. You should use a vector based program, such as Inkscape.

These kinds of images are based on simple geometric shapes, so just pay attention to what you want to do. Imagine a Sesame Street program. "Where do I find a triangle? Let's go find me a triangle".
