@Lori257

From a quick search
Is this the Russian Language diploma image from a Russian educational establishment ?

If it is, then the text is center - justified see: https://infoinspired.com/how-to-guides/everything-about-text-editing-text-positioning-and-text-align-in-gimp/

Some ideas:

  1. Compute the total length you will need
  2. Create  an image where this length is a dimension, and the strip with is the other dimension.
  3. Apply a gradient over it
  4. Make sure it has an alpha channel (Layer ➤ Transparency ➤ Add alpha channel)
  5. Cut/paste rectangles from it to you target image, rotating/adjusting each
  6. Make a diamond selection (square rotated by 45%) about as big as your final image, invert it, and save it to a channel (Select > Save to channel)
  7. Set the Move too to "Move Selection
  8. For each layer, recreate a selection from the saved channel, and use it as  cookie cutter to clip the corners
  9. Apply Filters ➤ Light and shadow ➤ Drop shadow to each layer, you want a bit more Y shift that X shift. Do it right on the first layer, and then select each layer in turn and then Filters ➤ Repeat "Drop shadow".

If it's to write something or doing it on letters
There is a font there ➤ https://www.1001fonts.com/origram-font.html
Tuto over there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biingZwbUMw using that font
it's an acceptable tuto, for its beginner simplicity, instead of using the brush I would use gradient dark to transparency for longer shadows and the free select tool with the Ctrl key down to have proper angles with more freedom without the need to rotate selection, though, also the tuto starts around 5mn, and less than 1mn watching it, you'll understand the principle.

Here http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=18573&start=380#p268004 you might want to take a look at the .xcf (download the .zip) it's very simply made and fully decomposed in the .xcf, even though it's not the effect you're searching for, it might help to have a better understanding

A variation ➤ http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2083 this can be achieve with way less steps, but maybe it can be useful.
