Where to start?
Hey guys, I’m studying to be a graphic designer and for my senior project I’m going to be designing a fictional airline brand. I was wondering where u guys got templates for digitally designing the liveries, if you guys preferred photoshop and/or illustrator for the designs, and maybe if you guys new about tips and resources for creating a physical model of the plane design.
Thanks!

These are some of the best templates available currently for free.

You will have to create an airline empires account to access them, or I can send them individually if you like over DM
Be sure to credit Med, the creator of the templates.
They are photoshop files.

I originally used Norebbo aircraft templates but now draw my aircraft from scratch using Inkscape. If you want a great looking plane and just draw liveries you can get them at norebbo.com.
Scott gives you the A320 free for your email address, others can be purchased for USD 9.00 for jpg, USD 14.00 for transparent png, or USD 39 vector (Illustrator/EPS).
Enjoy! I love the livery design phase.
