Creating Screen tone effect in Photoshop
Also known as zipatone, Ben-Day dots, halftones etc For this tutorial a basic knowledge of Photoshop, colour modes, resolution, history and layers pallete, copy and paste functions will help. It is often desirable to achieve screen tones for artwork for either practicality or for effect. What ever you need it for I am going to show you the most effective way to achieve this using Photoshop. If you can master this, then there is no need to track down real zipatone and fiddle around with cutting it up. The middle section on ‘creating dot patterns’ is fixed although how you create your grey areas and how you use the dot pattern is up to you. Firstly this tutorial has nothing to do with the halftone pattern in the Filter menu. In my mind this filter gives a poor, hard to control, and fuzzy result. Which is not suitable when you need real screen tones for something like screen printing. Creating greys First open the artwork you want to add screen tones to; Be sure that this a
I don't like tags at face value but i do enjoy the ocasionally interesting inetraction between people on in a public space. Also this little building is like an odd little piece of sculpture.
ReplyDeleteArt within an artwork :)
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm always trying to come to grips with my different modes of expression. But it's silly as i certainly know it fine for an artist to have multiple modes...
ReplyDeleteSo when I see something like this building with all the marks over it I feel inspired and think do I make a drawing, sculpture, photograph ect...
anything is better than plain grey cement, or fibro, or whatever that building is made of... still, half-arsed tags have to be the lowest form of art.
ReplyDeleteAfter studying 'fine art' for 3 years and struggling to find a place for myself with having a strong comic background, I came to realise that the term high and low is irrelevant. Like I said I might'nt totaly agree or understand tagging but there is still a beauty to it...

ReplyDeleteAnthony, I totally agree! I've had this argument with a lot of people, and I'm just not against graffiti per se, particularly the well-done stuff. Some of these artists have colour sense we could all learn from!
ReplyDeleteWhat I do hate to see is when graffiti artists destroy public artworks, or each other's art. We have a couple of painted murals near where I live and someone has done really basic white tags repeatedly across it. Lack of disrespect for another artist's work is difficult to understand.
Correction: lack of respect
