If you use processed colors (like the green mixture of Cyan and Yellow) when creating your halftone pattern it might not convert to vector gracefully. I suggest initially using black or spot colors in your halftone pattern. After the halftone is converted to a vector you can change it to a process color (CMYK or RGB). 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. Halftone Patterns from Gradients, Blends and Gradient Meshes After they are converted to vector, use any color you like. With your gradient, blend, or gradient mesh selected, go Effects > Pixelate > Color Halftone. Change the Max Radius to 20 and keep the rest of the settings the same. If the dots in the halftone patterns are too small or too big, you can change the Max Radius by double clicking the Color Halftone effect in the Appearance Panel. Now you can trace the image to create vector art. Like the previous Grunge Text Tutorial, it is easier to work with the image once it is vector. Moreover, I am going to use the same settings in that tutorial.įirst, expand the image by going Object > Expand Appearance. With the image selected, the Control Panel defaults to the Live Trace options. Click the Arrow Button beside the Live Trace button and select Tracing Options. If you wish, you can also go Object > Live Trace > Tracing Options.
