Peace I-)
Aleem Ashraf:If u really wanna learn this tutorial go to google translation
habibi Ashraf, you think I did not know the google translation, thanks anyway.
Here is the translated version of that tutorial. But hey! it's a very complex one for the newbies.
Aleem Ashraf:They could be reproduced in Corel Draw as jeff has revealed but I've no idea, HOW!
Funny... the 2 ways I'd approach the issue are both different from his solutions! :-)

Here's one way in CorelDraw. This is not 100% vector, but suitable for web design, etc.
1. Create an shape and fill with pure Cyan. We use cyan because we only want one color for the halftone pattern.
2. Do something to the shape to make it gradually/partially transparent. (e.g. Interactive transparency tool or convert ot bitmap and use Gaussian Blur)
3. Convert to bitmap, 96 dpi, make sure Transparency is checked. Don't use much higher than 96 if you want to see the dot pattern.
4. Bitmap>Color Transform>Halftone. Change the Cyan slider to desired angle and then move the magenta and yellow sliders all the way to the left (zero/0). Change the dot size. Click on Preview to see the effect. Click OK when done.
5. To change the halftone color from cyan to something else use Effects>Adjustments>Replace color.
Examples:
For some of the above, I created the dots patterns and then Power Clipped them in a shape. It's quite flexible that way.

Created in Photo-Paint. You can create negative halftones if you create the pattern on an Alpha Channel. I have a whole collection of halftone brushes made this way! Search on Google for halftone tutorials and you can do the same in PP. Object layers make it much easier to work with than in CorelDraw.

thanks alot pranderson,
Hi All,
The effect is not hard, but I do not intend to provide a tutorial, so don't ask. Get Jeff's Macro. The price is much, much less than I would charge to show someone how to do it.
I've attached a design I did 5 or 6 years ago. 100% created in CorelDraw (NOT ILLUSTRATOR).

hi F, in this case there was no macro... it would have been a tutorial with steps as shown earlier, just very different steps. :-)
Here's an easy way. Draw your shape, convert it to a bitmap in the resolution you desire, blur it (with Bitmaps/Blur/Gaussian Blur). Choose then Bitmaps/Color Transform/ Halftone. Optional: do an auto-trace if you want to have vectors. And that's that.

I don't think that's an Illustrator Vector effect. Illustrator has a halftone effect, but it doesn't work that way. I believe these are simply done in Photoshop or other image editor, then simply imported into Illustrator or other vector application as bitmap, then layered on top of each other. That's certainly how I would do it. Illustrator does have some premade halftone patterns that come with it though.

i hav same question with u to, but i have answer from google how to create halftone in ilustrator, so i try the same way on corel, cause im corel user to. i think it work same just create gradation or contour thing,(in black & white only) i use "A" with contour effect for sample & than convert it to grayscale 150dpi will fine. choose> bitmaps > color transforms > halftone, u can change the max dot radius. You don’t have to change all the options. press ok & done.
after that u can trace that, with the A selected > Trace Bitmap > Outline Trace> Line art, in the trace menu change the colors mode to black & white, in the settings tab "specify color" chose the white one, and check "Remove color from entire image". press OK. woalaaa. u have halftone effect in vector mode.hope will help.knowledge ... more u can give more u can get.
