Halftone Triple Technique Tutorial
Halftones: those cool little dots that create lovely tonal values, yet still maintain that flat, graphic look. If you search “how to do halftones” on Google or YouTube, you’ll find that there are a number of ways to achieve this effect. Here at the Arsenal, we tasked our designer Jordan Wong to find the best methods to share with you!
The Halftone Triple Technique Tutorial (check out that alliteration) brings you not only step-by-step instructional videos (over three hours of content) on three different techniques in both Adobe (CS5) Illustrator and Photoshop , but also information and working resources. By learning through example illustrations, custom-made by Jordan Wong, you will soon be creating masterpieces and getting asked left and right, “How did you make those sweet halftones?”
