i have been working on this livery for about 2 days, and i finally made this. um, i dont want critisim, but i will take advice. i know that the color scheme is all wrong, but it is a lot better than my first idea. oh, and the airline is kinda like a sub airline for my main airline, yay. its called yay cityhopper. again, please no critisim, but will take advice.

What program are you using?

I highly recommend Photoshop (the real version, elements is useless for this sort of thing)
Gimp works too, though I have no experience with it (but it is free)

Using this allows you to use the Kits from JetAbout which allow for much higher quality work. if you spend 15 to 20 minutes watching some basic tutorials about photoshop (most stuff in them will apply to gimp, just the arranging of menus is different) and I bet you could come up with some pretty high quality stuff.

I recommend tutvid.com for the tutorials. It's a great resource.

is photoshop a program premade on your computer or is it a download? also, i have gimp, cant figure out how to use it. and i am using paint.

[X-Wing @Aliciousness]

Maybe this should help

And also, Photoshop is a program made by Adobe and available here

Just to warn you, though, it costs about $700, so don't buy it unless you either A. plan on doing something else with it or B. have $700 to spend on Airline Empires

[littleman]

the picture/video thing didnt come up. and i dont have $700. so i will figure out gimp sonner or later

Paint.Net works well too, but the lasso tool is torture to attempt to use.

Your kidding right? You not even supposed to use the laso tool. It's stupid.

He may mean the Paint.Net one. It is stupid, so I never use it. I liked the one on GIMP.

arter thing for a while, i will now be doing mostly logos from now on. but i can still try to make a livery if anybody wants it, but its just better if i do a logo from scratch. (just a note, if you want a logo with a slogan, dont come to me)
