HERE'S MY OFFICIAL LIVERY

One reasonably easy way to make the liveries is to use a flight simulator (if you have one). There are many tutorials for repainting planes on the internet. It is not that hard once you get the hang of it (you may even be able to cheat a little, by downloading and modifying a livery made by someone else, there are no shortage of liveries on the internet, although you should acknowledge the original creator when you post it).

Any flight simulator should work with 32 Mb video card(you may need to lower settings a little), even Microsoft Flight Simulator X supposedly works with it. Here is a discussion on flight simulators, it should get you started. There are lots of good free ones available.

Once you have found a flight simulator, search the web for instructions on how to repaint for that specific simulator, I think it varies. Usually there will be a file which has a flat version of the outside of the plane. This can be edited like a normal picture (you may need to download something to convert the files).
Like I said before, when you have found a flight simulator, look on the internet for instructions on how to repaint planes for it.

FS2004 is your best bet, with the biggest range of planes available. Beware though that the process is fairly similar to just painting a diagram of a plane, so if you can't do what is shown here, you won't be able to do it on FS.
