- Time to get creative in Illustrator. Today we are creating some vector halftones, Yup Vector halftones to scale up, down, left, right and make bland design looks awesome. If your looking to give your design a little edge, give vector halftones a go. The great thing about Vector halftones is that even if you don’t have a screen printing RIP you can create these no rip halftones and print them out with the need for a RIP. Isn’t that awesome!

omg thank you. this is what I needed. simple explanation not too drawn out and boring. This was entertaining and kept my attention haha. I can't wait to explore your other videos!
Love the energy and the great vids!!
Super helpful. this is perfect. THANK YOU.
Awesome! This was super helpful and will save me lots of time creating patters too... Yay!
thanks for your awesome comment!
I am really glad I stumbled upon your channel, this process is much easier and practical for doing tones! Thank you!
Great to hear it! Thanks for the comment! 🤘
I like that approach.
Perfeito!! amei!!! Ganhou mais 1 inscrita!!!!
You did in minutes what I spent an entire day doing.
Dang, that worked a whole lot better than make gradient box, effect/pixellate/color halftone, and image trace. Thanks for that.
You are amazing, thank you for this!!!
Thanks C, really appreciate your comment. Made my day and it’s been a rough few weeks, so thank you.
Great tutorial!
Your content is genuine. Thanks a lot.
Absolutely love your comment bru! Thanks very much. 😉
i love all of your videos dude, keep it up.
Thanks Hazmi, really appreciate your comment 😉
Wait!!! Can you please explain the last steps to insert them into the letters!! Mine didn’t go into the letters right 😭
Awesome. Great video and big help. Will definitely give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
Thank for the great comment! Enjoy them and you have some great videos over on your channel! 😉
@@KeeponCreatingTV Thanks, I appreciate that comment. 🤙
No worries bru, keep creating! 🤘
Really cool . I can see a ton of uses for this. Thanks man.
Sweet Dan! When you create something make sure to drop me a line to check it out😉
@@KeeponCreatingTV will do !
Did not understand from 6:44. From where the yellow came? Not working in my file in the same way.
nice tutorial.
thx just what i was looking for
Awesome to hear.
Hi, I'm using Illustrator CS5, which doesn't seem to have "unite" in pathfinder (or anywhere!). I've copied and pasted the halftones over my graphic, but now I'm stuck with them covering the whole thing and I can't figure out how to "trim" them away from the graphic below. please help!
love from india, upload more and more, we like to watch, its worth
Great stuff, love hearing where you are from 👍
Thanks for explaining why you chose those numbers! It's always difficult to understand when other tuts just throw numbers out there
Wow, awesome comment, thanks ;-)
good tutorials. also its funny cause his humor itself is not funny but the fact that he's trying to be funny is the actual funny part
very cool video thks for sharing
Thanks ST!
I can't do the pathfinder thing, you di dit too fast. I keep getting an error
Great video but I am so confused. The design was red..not yellow. But some how when you put the halftones on it and did all the intersecting and expanding, some how it turned yellow. You make the halftones only red. Where did the yellow come from. You were moving so fast
Congrats for the video... very helpful!!
Can you tell me the MTP font???
thanks dude
Thanks!

Thanks a lot man, I have been working on a comic book style ui for my game but the halftones kept coming with bg's that were hard to remove. This really helped. Much love bro keep it up
Wow that sounds awesome, when you are ready to show it, I’d love to see it. Thanks for your awesome comment 🤘
Hey! Have you made a video for the last bit yet? Thanks!
Thank u!!
I hate that at 6:50 you did like 10 steps in 3 seconds. For the average dumbass like myself, I had to rewind about 10 times just to make sure I was doing everything step by step...
And for whatever reason after uniting the dots and square, my "Expand" button is grayed out? Was there a keystroke you did somewhere without mentioning it?
aghh I have the same issue
Would be nice to get that last section tutorial. I get same issue as everyone else, and yes, I have outlined font. The whole extend option is not available and get same error as others.
RIGHT,SMH
The last part is confusing, it's like you were rushing to take a pee or something
I love everything about this video but the end makes me want to cry because I can't figure it out. HELP!!! also all your videos are awesome.
I think I made another video with that part in it. Let me check if not i'll work up something ;-)
@@KeeponCreatingTV No you never made that video. I checked, now I'm panicking because I need this for a project!! 😱
Same problem around 6:55! After making your two shapes, go to Pathfinder menu and click ‘Make Compound Shape’ then click ‘Expand’...and the rest should be golden browns! Cheers!
nice!
Tim! Your the man bru, thanks for sharing this video too, that meant one heck of allot to me! 😀
I think the size of the dots matter. because depending on the size of our sheet, the dot are WAY too Close.
Why I can't use pathfinder for the socend time . It say filter prodused no result
same here
Hey man, great video! I do the same exact thing when im making half tones in AI. - my issue with this method is always what mesh I should choose since my halftones are never created mathematically like they are in photoshop... usually in photoshop you can calculate the exact mesh that will render the best result but with this method I’m always guessing which mesh to use just based on appearance. Any tips on mesh choice with this method??
Hey Shaun, great to hear from you! How small are you going with your dots? If your up for some CSI you could print a reference sheet from photoshop of general dot breaks. Then when you come to print your custom illustrator version, you can try match as close too. May need a magnifier if your dots get really small. Generally if I was hand printing Fine Halftones I would go between a 77T (196us) and a 90T (230us), as it's hard going on the arms! Still love your print shop man!
My T Shirt Printers thanks buddy
Can you do it on the iPad?
Great 4 SURE ! ;)
Thank you
Tq for the tutorial!!btw what font are u using nice!
Thanks Amir, here it is: www.dafont.com/die-nasty.font
@@KeeponCreatingTV tqvm!!
HELLO GOOD DAY. IM NEWBIE AND BEGINNER HERE IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. I LIKE YOUR TUTORIAL. I LEARN MORE LESSONS FROM YOU. I SUBSCRIBE YOUR CHANNEL. THANKS, GOD BLESS YOUR TUTORIAL
Awesome, thank you!
This is awesome! New Subscriber! How long have you been doing graphic design?
Thanks TeeTrinity, let’s see over 23 years 😳
Keep on Creating Awesome man! Would you be interested in doing some paid Skype tutoring sessions?
Keep on Creating ????
Sorry been one heck of a week 😳. I’m putting together some long tutorials, what sort of tutoring are you looking for?
Keep on Creating Some halftone tutoring and also some dynamic text/lettering tutoring. I’m willing to compensate you well for your expertise. I’m currently trying to perfect my designs for a T-shirt fashion line that I’m putting together... so maybe I could pay you to help with the printing process as well...
FOR EVERYONE that has the problem of "The filter produced no results. Select two overlapping paths," I think I found solution!!! Try THIS:
Select all of the dots that were made
Go to Object>Compound Path>Make
THEN, try selecting your shape plus the dots, then Intersect.
That might work! It worked for me. Hope this helps!
Amazing! Intersect didn't work for me either but this did!
THANK YOU!!!!
Can you use this method also for photos? Im use to photoshop and doing halftones to print photos
Hey EKA, photo's are a little different, but since your using photoshop you may already being using the halftone function in photoshop. This is where you can set dot size etc, so you can make your photo look more cartoon like to finer dots making it more real.
Hi great tuto but at the end impossible to intersect , an idea why ? thanks
Hey Painful TV love the name 😁. Are you holding ‘alt’ when clicking the intersect function?
@@KeeponCreatingTV thanks for the word well let's try ;)
i still no brain it worked dude youhou thanks
Awesome, Let me know!
how did it change colors from red to yellow
The halftones can be changed to any colour, whilst the base layer is a solid colour
Спасибо за урок!
👍🏼
Ok so, make the rectangle, select both the dots and the rectangle , unite them, click expand. Expand for me isn’t happening? Any reason why?
Try hold command or alt when clicking the unite button : ruclips.net/video/Tbrkxyb-PrI/видео.htmlsi=rD3PLt8cuZXtjbop
Oh brother!!! THANK YOU FOR SUCH A QUICK RESPONSE! You’re the man! Thank you!
@@KeeponCreatingTVhey one more thing please, I know you’re busy and hopefully you can reply. So I watched the tutorial and the expand worked, however the interact did not. And clue? Or even another tutorial? I am knee deep in learning!
@gabrielaguirre9701 I’m going to need to watch the video again haha! What part is the interact part that isn’t working?
@@KeeponCreatingTVit’s at 6:56, I also meant intersect, sorry lol. Dude those letters are so sick man. It would only allow the halftone in one letter for me. My letters were a dark green with like halftone and a black outline around the letter. It turned the one letter all black with lime halftone and all other letters were normal. I appreciate you!
So when i go to transform then rotate it doesn’t offset the dots like yours did it just rotates the whole image
Hey Alan, ok go back a few steps. Just after you create your horizontal blend, go to the rotate function. Don't Hit 'Expand Appearance' before this, otherwise the entire graphic will rotate.
That’s what it was!!! Sweet!!! I know im becoming a pain in the ass lol. You’ve got some good stuff here though!!! Thanks a million
It’s all good, I love that your doing it! post what you done on the ‘keep on creating’ Facebook page, would love to see it!
One more question. How do you control the color i was placing the halftones in yellow i had the halftones a darker shade of yellow hit intersect and they turn black
Hey Alan, just woke up! After you have rotated then and finished creating you effect, go up to 'Expand Appearance' You may need to do this twice. I would also recommend you ungroup, head to your pathfinder, hold alt and click the 'unite' icon. Then Click Expand. Now color change away! 😀
please explain the las part again slowly .....
Hey Jose! I have another tutorial coming soon which uses the method, and i'll go slower. Thanks for the comment ;-)
Alright man, coming up on 4 years here and since this video is still tracking well when searching for a halftone tutorial you should really update it. I mean at least put the last part directions in the description.
Will do, I did make another video including this part, just can’t remember which one. I’m working on some more vids so will be back soon 😁
lol, I wish you had went slower on the last tip.
Me too from the amount of same comments. Haha
@@KeeponCreatingTV That was a really helpful tutorial tho! Thank you for doing what you’re doing!
Can put save templates? Make quick arts.
Hey There! Thanks for the message! Are you asking if you can save as a template / graphic style and use ?
@@KeeponCreatingTV Yes, make halftone to save in templates. Will work?
@@youwierd Yes you could save as a template or in your library or even as a brush!
Can you slow down your last steps of putting the halftones in the text. Your going kinda fast in the video. Place the halftones and go
Hey Alan! haha 🙃 I'll try make a another video 😉. Love it.
Why Xabi Alonso is taking Illustrator classes?
There's a lot of deep bass thumping going on in this video, really distracting. First thought it was someone in my building throwing around heavy things or something.
You really rushed the last part when you were showing how to apply the halftone. I literally can't understand what you were saying. Great job up until that point...
Same Here i cant figure out how to apply the halftone.
Pause button not work?
@@tmthylthm smart remarks not needed. He rushed through the end. No pause button would help there...
@@theoriganativebrand5577 it's literally on the screen. You don't even need to hear what he says. The pause button works wonders.
@@tmthylthm make us a video explaining it.
Was great tutorial til you blew through the last part of the video.
Like the WIND! i'll do another ;-)
PATH FINDER PROBLEM SOLUTION:
Convert both objects (dots and text) into a "Compound Path (Ctrl+8)" separately, and you'll be able to apply the pathfinder tool easily. 😀😇😇
wasn't the easiest to follow TBH
Yup got it, will do an explainer at some point :-)
Please Marry Me 😄😇😊
Anyway, Thank You So Much 〰🍀🙌🏻☀〰
too much bla bla, at the end you are in a hurry up.
Thats not halftone. Its blending and patterning dots.
Halftone is when you generate dots from a picture.
