Steps

At the first step, i started by creating a square using the rectangle tool.



Secondly, i use Pen Tool to make an almost triangle look alike. This is for the land/beach.



I add few anchor with the Add anchor point tool to make a few curves.



After satisfied with the shape, i adjust the colour of the beach and the sea. For the sea, i used gradient.



I also applied the same thing to the beach for its 'fill'.



Next, i added a green land and made it using the pen tool.



Then i used the rectangle tool again to make a building. I also changed the gradient for the sea as i thought that the previous gradient didn't look good.



I copied the first building i made and paste it for a few times. Then i placed it near each other and i had also adjust the size so it would look more like a city.



For the window, i made a very small square using the rectangle tool and copied it then paste it for many times. After that, i placed it around on each building i've made.



Next, I copied the beach layer and paste it for about 3 times. Then i moved the new copy of layer a bit lower from the original layer.



For this step, i removed the stroke and reduce the opacity for the copied layer to make it looks like the beach is fading into the sea.



Next, i made a big rectangle using the rectangle tool and surround the canvas outline.This is to crop the image.


As seen in the screenshot above, i did that to crop the image so that things outside the outline won't be visible when i export it.


The final outcome.

for the building (the black buildings), make it clean, to have the clean and sharp edges. Also, if possible, let me know the overall message/idea for your assignment3? send email to me or see me.
