I know you weren't blaming gimp. its not a bad program.
my GD skills took a few years to develop, but when working with specialist GD's it really started to come together. Still wouldn't regard myself as one tho...still a long way to go. go with your gut intinct. when you design something be extremely critical of it, keep coming back to it, and if you still like it then its a winner.
also simplicity is the key.
the font is called
rezland
http://www.dafont.com/rezland.font
took me ages to find it, and was quite funny that it sounded similar to my business name!
also that page is still in development, so apologies if it is a little confusing/lacking in content. but I was just really happy with the canvas script so have left it at that for the moment! the script doesnt work in IE but I'm happy with that...filters out all the IE users who wont even bother me because all they see is a black page...
