Adobe Illustrator: Vertical- View Diamond Trace

GEM EXPO NYC Poster

I first got the half diamond off D2L and traced it and reflected it. I then put a gradient on each triangle. I found a New York City background and put it behind it. I faded the diamond. I then put in a black rectangle and faded that. Finally I put in the text.

 

 

 

GEM EXPO NYC "Commemorative Stamp"

I created the stamp by first creating a black rectangle. I then followed the tutorial on how to make it look like the stamp. I put on a zigzag and then a drop shadow. I sent it to the back and centered the poster on it. I then finally turned it white.
