« on: February 03, 2010, 01:37:20 pm »This is the livery from my airline in PW#1217
Recently re-branded from Air India Express to Trans Asia Airlines. Here is the new livery.
As the world is in the 60's, tried to create a period look.

General Chat / Re: My first livery...HELP!
« on: August 15, 2009, 09:03:23 am »I'll tell you what i did step by step:
1. Image->Mode->RGB Color. But i guess you already did this.
2. Use Levels [Ctrl+L] to slightly darken the outlines. Move the sliders to the right.
3. Polygonal Lasso [L] to make the stripes in the tail. I think you did the same thing too.
4. Paint Bucket Tool [G]to fill in the paint. By using the lasso and paint bucket, you only fill one panel at a time. Therefore you can prevent eh paint from going to unwanted places [like what happened to you horizontal stabiliser].
5. To give a depth to the white part of the paint, i use a pre-shading method. But before that, create a duplicate background. To do this right-click on the image in the "layers" tool bar and select "Duplicate Layer". Now select the paint bucket tool and then left click on the color options. This will open a window where you can select the desired colors. Of the 2 columns, the bottom left one will have a "#" symbol and a box with alphanumeric in it. Type f7eed9 into it. That is the color i use. Then fill in the white part of the livery. One you have finished it, in the "Layers" window set "Opacity" to 65%. And then flatten image. This will make the fuselage look more realistic.
6. Use the Gradient Tool [Right click on the Paint Bucket button. You can select Gradient tool from the drop down menu]to give the shadow/shading to make the pic look 3-Dimensional.
Well, you're using Photoshop, that's a big plus already. Basically, what you do is you create a new layer that goes over your painting layer, whichever that is, and stick a simple gradient in there using the Gradient Tool, then selecting the preset white to black gradient. You make sure the white is completely see-through (opacity at 0%), then drag the tool top to bottom over your livery. Then just crop out the bits of the gradient you don't want to have in your livery, basically everything that's not the airplane, adjust the opacity of the layer until you think it works, and you have a very, very basic shading.
Basically i've following the advice/tips given by him. Best person to contact for Livery related queries.
Hope it helps
Cheers

Actually... come to think of it... I like that more than the other one. ^_^ I don't know if it'll be too much trouble, but could you make the red stripes on the fuselage a little higher? (Like, less blue and stars, probably eliminating the last two rows of stars?) , and on the tail, could you put UA in blue (Kinda like American Airlines inspired)? Other than that, I'll take it!! thank you SO much!!
I'm on it

Wow that is really good. Could you by any chance use a darker blue, and use instead of the asterisk stars, could you replace them with the 5 pointed stars (and no wavy thing around the big star)? :3
Other than that I think that's PERFECT.
I'll get on it. And the stars...what color would you like them to be??
