hey, does anyone know how to get a dot screen style effect like this?

makemakemake.org/files/gimgs/25_reset1.jpg

i have tried various tutorials involving bitmaps and dot screens but can't for the life of me get anything that looks good!

thank you

in photoshop.. convert a very high-res (1200+) grayscale image to bitmap - setting a halftone screen or better, pattern dither.

import the file into indesign and apply colour

1) Get photo, set foreground colour as black, background as white.

2) Filter>Sketch>Halftone Pattern (play with size, make it highish contrast and select dot pattern)

3) Set layer to multiply (doing this means you can change the background colour to whatever you want and the dots that represent highlights will change colour to match the background)

4) Up the contrast

5) Image>Adjustments>Selective Colour ( go to black drop down, lower the blackness and up the Cyan/Yellow values for green, fiddle with them all to create other colours.

Tada;

Edit- Best to start off with a high res photo so you can get more detail with the dots in the filter. The ones in the image above were scaled down by about 50%

This thread is a good example of the potential this site has - the question was asked and 15 minutes later a tutorial and example was given, with some pointers in the middle. Good stuff guys!
