Halftone gradient?

Hi everyone. I have tried recreating this but not successful. 

 

My first step was created a gradient background from black to red, the first image. But the gradient has a white in the middle because of the gradient effect. How is the effect on these just from black to red? Then I put the lines pattern on top. Am I getting this wrong? I am only concern about the middle part of this. 

Or are those halftone gradient lines?

 

Thanks for your help!

It looks to me like the lines are evenly spaced. You could simple add a pattern fill something like this:

 

Edit:
Off-topic… why are "large" screen captures so blasted small??


If the lines DO get progressively smaller Monika has the answer.

Hi, Cin,

 

From your description of the gradient problem I'm guessing that you are in CMYK mode and using pure black for the dark end of the gradient. If you look at rcraighead's screenshot of the gradient panel you will see that the black has magenta and yellow added. This will reduce or eliminate the "white" effect. You could also add a red gradient stop or two with increasing amounts of black as you get closer to the black end, and play with the positions and spacing.

Hi Peter, thanks! I am indeed in CMYK mode. I've actually made the black 0% but still showed the 'white' bit. So I had it 100% red and 0% opacity on the black. I will play with the colours. 

 

Thank you!

For whatever my comments may have been worth to you, you're welcome. There are always lots of variables to play with, and getting things just right is sometimes elusive. I wish you success. Please feel free to ask as much and as often as you need to.

Hi rcraighead, that is so bang on. Sadly I can't see the details of your screenshot! 😞 I think the doesn't doesn't get smaller..it just seems to get darker which you got it.  

 

So what was your steps? You created that gradient background and added the pattern (lines in this case) fill on top?

 

Thank you so much!

Make a blend between a thin rectangle and a thick rectangle. Then mask it.
