A couple weeks ago I promised to start putting tutorials on my blog. Here is my first project for you to try.
A Halftone Vector Shape.
 |
Step 1: Make a shape. Any Shape. |
 |
Step 2: Give that shape a gradient. I am using a radial gradient for this tutorial. |
 |
Step 3: Go to Effects in your tool bar and select Sketch: Halftone Pattern. |
 |
Step 4: Adjust your size and contrast to what you are happy with. I prefer my contrast high, so that the dots get better separation. |
 |
Step 5: Rasterize the shape. Then go to Object : Trace : Tracing Options |
 |
Step 6: Adjust your tracing options, until you like the appearance (I always check the preview box so I can see my adjustments before I make a commitment. Trace & Expand the Appearance (so that it all become outlines) |
 |
Step 7: Select all the white areas, and delete. This way you are only left with the black. |
 |
Step 8: Now that we have the halftone pattern shape as a vector, we can make any size and color. | | |
|

Please let me know how this tutorial went (it is my first and I am learning at doing this myself, so if anyone else has some helpful hints please leave a comment below). Also if you would like to see more tutorials or a tutorial for a particular project in mind just let me know! I tried to be clear in my directions, but if anything was confusing or needs definitions please let me know.
Thanks.
