When I applied to be a graphic designer at Evermore Amusement Park (Pleasant Grove, UT), they gave me an illustration to color and edit to look like it was part of a tapestry. By using both Adobe illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, I came up with some pleasing results. 

I editted the piece to give it a more earthy, sandstone-like texture.

A slight cracking effect to make look like part of an aging wall.
