I want to create a background as a Diamond shape, this diamond shape may have content inside it(text, images) but I don't know how to do this. As an example, I'm sharing a screen shot, in this example I'm using a background image of a diamond shape but I want to achieve this with a background color. I need your help.

As you mentioned in your comment to Troy, just transform: rotate(-45deg);
will rotate the content as well. The way that I would do it, is by using a ::before
or ::after
, and then use the border
trick to make the triangle on top.
This codepen, is how I would do it.
The important part in it, is the CSS that starts on line 17 (after you "view-compiled CSS"):
.example::after {
content: "";
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: solid 385px transparent;
border-bottom: solid 200px #00325F;
transform: translate(0, -100%);
}
For making the element show an entire diamond, you could have your main element, with a section
(that holds the content), and then use a ::after
to display the diamond without having to worry about the content.
I wrote the following codepen to show what I described.
It makes it easy to have the container, set the display: flex;
and then justify-
and align-
items: center;
so that when I set the ::after
and the section
to position: absolute;
everything will be centered based on the containers with and height. So when you want to adjust the way the element is centered, you just need to change the width and height of the container element.
This isn't part of the solution, but looking at your HTML, if you don't need all those nested elements, I would suggest narrowing it down only to what you need.
I did mine really quick, just to use as an example, but it looks pretty close to what you have in the picture.
