I started in Level one by using the flag designer we all know and love. I exported it via GIMP etc etc. I went into level two when I opened MSPaint and copied the bird onto both sides, and shaped out the middle banner. I dipped my feet in level three when I used paint.net (which I had already ^.^) to cut out the swords from another flag I had. I then resized it and flattened it into a jpeg, for no reason whatsoever. I then went back to MSPaint to add the quote which means "The Love and Liberty" because I felt the flag looked kind of bland, and the only other thing I would've done would be to add a third bird, but that would've made it look much worse than it did.
I'm not really sure what category it's in. I kind of thought along the lines of comradery initially because of the two birds and the swords locked together, but now I'm not sure it fits in that area, or any of these categories for that matter. I basically made a flag for the fun of it and to join the contest anyway, but if I have to join an "area", it'll be the comradery one I guess.
