Creating Halftone Effects in Illustrator. It used to be a time consuming process to create a halftone. First, I would open a picture in Photoshop, convert it to grayscale, apply a halftone effect, open it up in illustrator, trace it, and if didn’t get messed up somewhere in the process, I would use the halftone in Illustrator. In Illustrator CS3 it is quite a bit easier to create halftones without leaving Illustrator. Notes This tutorial was created with Illustrator CS3. I suggest having the Raster Effects at 300 ppi. This will generate the best quality in the effect. You can change this by going Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings and chose 300 ppi. Halftones I don’t want to ramble on here, but it is helpful to learn a little about halftones before getting started. Color is also important to note when dealing with halftones. If any of this doesn’t make sense, just use black as the dark color and white as the light color in your gradients, blends and gradient meshes.
