Artistic Halftone Screening (SIGGRAPH poster)

#1

I am trying to duplicate a SIGGRAPH poster from 1995. I read the white paper on it and there is a sort of explanation, but nothing that I can really makes heads of.

and their explanation:

I’m trying to wrap some text around a greyscale teapot to use for a t-shirt design.

Any ideas are appreciated.

can’t see your other image but are you after something like this?

Almost… the value is changing, but what they had done on the SIGGRAPH poster is the orientation/size of the font changed with it also.

hoooho…font size, weight, direction and spacing :hmm:

i read this PDF but i have no idea how to reproduce this on a computer. will look further tho

#6

a clearer one

Yeah, that looks pretty good. How did you end up with that?

This is what I’ve managed so far.

not sure it can be used for your purpose tho…

Ultimately, it needs to get into AI for print, so I’ll see how it traces. Thanks for taking the time to experiment with it =D

Here is a way to make custom halftones using the Hard Mix blend mode.

You could try making a photo mosaic from art tiles using the method of your choice.

This guy has a nice 'size-by-luminance- Illustrator script that may help you.

…and I have a suggestion for how to make mosaic grids that are not perfectly grid-like without distorting the underlying image…
