Halftone custom photoshop shape

By on November 12, 2005 in Custom Shapes, Effects, Photoshop, Tutorials

This tutorial is going to show you a way to create halftone custom adobe Photoshop shapes. These shapes can be used in many design projects like logo design, flyer design or even as a background for another design element. They are very versatile because of their vector nature which means that they can be used at any size. Here are a few examples.

example

Let’s start
1) Create a new document. For this tutorial it is necessery to work on a very large file to have good results so I used a size of 3000*3000 pixels

2) Choose the custom shape tool

3) Choose a custom shape that you want to transform to a halftone photoshop custom shape. For this tutorial I used this flower like shape.

4) Hit “P” to select the pen tool, right click on the shape and select “Make Selection”. Then go to “Select” -> “Inverse”

5) Hit “Q” to ener quick mask mode
