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.

Actually, scratch that. Rock Deputy's instructions worked perfectly for me, and it seems like they'd work for just about any version, right?

Thanks so much!

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?
