Hi hollywood

can’t see the images you tried to post but halftone effects can be done in Illustrator by choosing the Effect menu, then Pixelate, then Color Halftone. If you need more specific help try reposting the examples directly here on the forum.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your fast reply! Yes this works perfectly...I actually ended up coming across one of those YouTube tutorials without narration that demonstrated the same thing as you.  My final question is once I create the halftone, how do I get rid of the white fill so that the halftone is transparent? Thanks!

There should be no white background behind your art unless a white box has been drawn and placed there. Illustrator's artboard or 'stage' is white but it does not have an impact on the art. How you get the art out of Illustrator matters though. Are you printing directly or exporting an image file? If exporting you'll need to use a file format that supports transparency, so .png is good but .jpg is not. Printing directly should be fine right from the original illustrator art.
