..Ah. I'm so sorry. i don't use GIMP so I absolutely have no idea how that works. However, I should think he does it with Clipping Mask. I can't help you with the graphics portion, but I probably could help you get the coding to look like his.
{ Gimp is very similar to Photoshop, the only thing is there is no preset clip art packages and such you can use and its more complicated to download brushes. So basically you have to gather all the images you want to use (even like shapes and such) and cut out the background on your own by either using the magic brush tool or the lasso tool. I actually have two tutorials on gimp that I think I actually might post in the tutorials forum, but sadly its only about adding effects to text and adding horizontal lines to an image. So I can see if I can make a tutorial on how ot make a header for a layout in Gimp smile}
I'll let the thread about this idea run for abit. Premium should start the same time as our Guild Banner Competition event? That way the winner and participants can all get GrC~
