Maybe 15 minutes are not enough. ;-)
Draw your shape (b/w), blur it really good and then apply the newsprint
plug-in with about 80 LPI and 10 pixel cell size. All angles (red,
green, blue) should be set to the same value (!!! - 35 degrees look
good).
Now fill a new layer with the desired color. Add a layer mask. Paste the
newsprinted stuff into it. That's all...
Have a look at a tutorial of mine describing making 'techno text' using
this technic at the Gimp User Group [http://gug.sunsite.dk].
CU, Michael
