DOC.01What defines this style

Two inks and oversized dots turn a portrait into rhythmic poster energy.

Duotone halftone art separates an image into two bold ink channels and uses coarse dots to model value. Its immediate graphic rhythm fits playlist covers, festival promotions, and contemporary culture editorials.

Use it for

  • Playlist cover art
  • Festival promotions
  • Pop-culture editorials

Practical notes

  1. Ask ChatGPT to name the two inks explicitly again if extra colors appear.
  2. In Stable Diffusion, threshold the portrait before applying the halftone pass.
  3. Keep dots largest in midtones and preserve clean paper white around the eyes.
