Alright, all I want to do is make a simple banner like this:



The problem is that I'm using GIMP and I don't know how to make the text like that. Everytime I try to add the text there, the white part of the text is transparent. I also would like to know how I might get a border around the words as well.
And how can you write in alternating colors for every letter?

*is a newbie at art stuff* x___x;

Don't you need to know the font name first?

Not necessarily^

Ok. To get the color around the text, in Photoshop it's called Stroke. Look for something along those lines.
