About This Class

In this video I show you how to create a halftone pattern out of an image. I then show you different things you can do with this dotted pattern, such as create 3Dimensional abstract shapes and experiment with dispersion and displacement.

I experiment with image and type, finally creating a poster design with all the resources created within the tutorial.

Either design a poster using one of the techniques from this tutorial video and share it. Or, see what you can make using patterns to create 3D shapes, like in the tutorial, creating folds and creases by using the warp tool in the Transform panel.
