Practical Halftone Dot Application

posted by Liz

I know the tutorial on halftone dots is a little ways down the page now, but I just remembered a photo I took in Mexico City earlier this summer. (Leave it to me to go to another country and take pictures of advertising.) I was just showing a friend my pictures last night when I saw it again and thought it would be nice to share.

Learning little tricks like this one means you're just as good as the pros. Occasionally I see graphics techniques that put me to shame, but the truth is that sometimes just knowing is half the battle.
