How can I do this

may I ask how do i do this

They just used a bright red to dark red gradient and stroked diagonally towards the bottom right. Then they used Drop Shadow. This can all be done in GIMP.

Easy stuff bro
Remember your layers and alpha selections

Well I'm not really good at gimp

screenies perhaps?
