Stage 2 of 4
Your aircraft
One photograph of one particular aircraft, and everything that can honestly be done with it.
This stage assumes one thing: there is a particular aircraft. The type somebody flies, or flew, or waited three weekends at the fence to photograph properly. Everything here works backwards from a photograph you already own, because that is the only input this site has and pretending otherwise would waste your time. These pages cover getting the shot, judging whether it will hold up at size, and what each of the five restyles actually does to it.
The reading, in order
- Getting a print-worthy shot
- Turning plane photos into wall art
- Aircraft art styles explained
- The aircraft print
- The airport code print
- Personalised aviation gifts
What these pages keep concluding
The same limit decides every page in this stage. What we can print is a photograph you took, either as it is or redrawn in one of five styles, and if there is no photograph then what we can print is typography: an airport code, its name and its coordinates. There is no describe-it-and-we-paint-it option and there never has been. That is why the restyle is the object this stage keeps arriving at, and why the airport code print sits right beside it as the answer for everyone with nothing to upload.
And after that
The stage that follows this one is the gift: Who it is for, and what actually lands. One page per recipient, each making only the argument that is its own.
