you'll need to fiddle with applying it to make it suit what you're doing. but here's how I make halftones in Illustrator CS2. the left version is using a gradient base for halftones in a single direction, and the right is using Feathered objects to get halftones all around the border. works on any shape.

I have Photoshop CS2, and cant seem to make Rock Deputy's method work (It says pre-CS2, so maybe thats why?)



Does anyone know how to do this in CS2?

yes is very possible on cs5 the problem is the halftone points looks a bit deformed

but you have other options, the first and free "the rasterbator" (make posters also) and the not free but very cool "phantasm"
