How to create an airline livery

[Zavlia]

I have noticed so many people have created great airline livery and I really want to do the same.
Only problem is, how do you do it?

I have tried copy and paste to paint but that doesn't work. Is there some kind of online creator or a special programme you need?

Thanks for any replies in advance!

for onr, download GIMP, ir if you know someone who has Adobe Photoshop, install that on your PC, PAINT is a giant pile of dog-egg

Generally I start with a plain white or possibly a blue airliner, white if my airline livery is predominantly white, blue if it is to be a colour, that way hue/colour balance on Adobe has something to grip.

From there, I search for a logo, tribal tattoos sometimes work, that is where i got the angel wing for Avija Valkyr from, it had two wings and a heart, so the wing was swiped.

Having come up with a name for the airline, I then work a suitable text font then typed it down on the fuselage then rasterized it, stuck on the angel wing onto the tail plane and then faded back so it does not look super imposed.


The two stripes that are at the bottom were left frm the original Air France livery because I liked how they looked, the engines on the Mystic are off an Antonov AN76, just put above the wing. The GA7 and 777 started out lufe as the same image

Trans Polar DC10 started life as a Swiss Air aircraft, minor modifications done




The Pulse logo was taken from a local fitness club, these aircrraft have been given some light treatment, including the removal of the original liveries, The 737 started life as an SAS Airlines aircraft, the 747 is from an Icelandic airline

some trucks:
Midnight Thunder did not originally have bull bars, or the snazzy paint job, it was a plain white Kenworth T2000

and for ultimate lulz
The Kvasir started out life as the bluetec Actros
