Halftone Tint Pack Featured in Uppercase Magazine

May 3, 2018 by admin

The Halftone Tint Pack has a nice blurb in Uppercase Magazine, Issue 37. Uppercase publishes books and magazines for the creative and curious — publications that spark the imagination and inspire creativity.

Here’s how Publisher Janine Vangool describes this issue:

“Although every issue of UPPERCASE could be described as a celebration of ink on paper, in this particular edition we’re diving into the substance of what makes a colourful publication like this one possible—that very special combination of tiny cyan, magenta, yellow and black dots that work together to create everything you see printed on this page. (Get a magnifying glass and get in real close! Enjoy that inky smell, too! The vegetable-based inks really smell great on our 100% recycled paper stock.)”

Map Halftones à la 1956

September 16, 2015 by admin

Cameron Booth is a Graphic Designer with a particularly keen area of interest — transit maps. Recently, he set his sights on a digital recreation of one of his all time favorites — a 1956 Paris Métro Map.

On Booth’s site, he talks about why he chose our Illustrator Tint Pack to recreate the vintage 1956 halftones: “Creating good looking vector-based halftone dots in Illustrator is surprisingly difficult, with results that either look too digital and perfect, or create an unholy mess of millions of paths and anchor points. In the end, I made use of the Halftone.us Illustrator Tint Pack, a collection of lovely, organic-looking, seamless halftone pattern swatches…”

Have a look at the fruits of Booth’s labor, below.
