The main tool used to create this city was the perspective grid tool. It is important to leave the grid in it’s place one you determine the size grid you want to use.
The small 3 dimensional cube at the top of the screen helps navigate the perspective grid. Each side of the cube relates to a side of the perspective, and that side has to be clicked before making any rectangle on the area of the grid you would like to work in.
Use rectangles to form the buildings. As you drag the rectangle, it will automatically become proportional to the perspective of the grid.
To add text (or any other object into the perspective grid), use the Perspective Selection Tool and drag the object into the grid. It will the become part of the perspective scene.
Once I finished creating the city in perspective, I copied and pasted the whole city and reflected it across the page. Then I manipulated the colors to make it appear as a whole different building complex.
Lastly, I added two large rectangles, sent them to the back, and added gradients to each of them.
