  • Vector Halftone Effect

    #1
    Hey, can anyone help me out here... I'm designing a banner [in Illustrator] in a pseudo kind of retro SuperHeroes sort of style, and I want to apply a halftone effect to the background - I know exactly how I want it to look - green graduating to yellow, with the halftone circles clearly visible. I know how to create halftone effects in PhotoShop, but, for various reasons, I need to create this effect as vector artwork in Illustrator [10/CS]... Can anyone help?! I've often wondered if there was an easy way to do this in Illustrator - there must be surely - and now I really need to find out how!!

    Many good wishes in advance · TeeKay

    I'm not sure, but I think you can do it by using Blend between, say, a large green circle and a small yellow circle. This will create one row which you can then make multiple copies of.

        This thread had a way to get the round dots using Flash.

        Sometimes you can use Filter>Pixelate>Color halftone. Sometimes.

          PD that last line reminds me of the one from alien (or aliens, I can't remember which. the one with the little girl and bill paxton).

          Mostly they come out at night. Mostly.

                Ylaenna, I like your method.
                TK, something like this?

                  Cheers for the tips guys! I tried Ylaenna's way, it came out exactly how I wanted it to... However, due to my client being a bit of a git, the job has now been canned. What a jib!!!! I was doing a good job an all - and enjoying it. Oh well!

                  Cheers again

                    Hmmm... I been thinking bout this now.

                    Although I did what I needed on the job, it's still a pretty inflexible way of achieving the effect - as is the Flash method. Surely some enterprising young someone out there may have created an Illustrator filter for this..? Anyone know any decent sources for filters? Or is that a daft question...

                      Good luck with that... I've noticed there are a million resources out there for photoshop, but if you want to find something for Illustrater...... Few and far between!?!

                        Write to this guy. He creates em for fun and sometimes profit.

                        His other plug-ins are great. I use his Select Menu all the time. And the Freebies are useful too. And a couple other ones on there.
