In this video, I’m going to show you how to create a really impactful duotone effect in Adobe Illustrator.
This effect is usually done in Photoshop, but It’s actually super easy to pull off in Illustrator too, and once you have this setup, it’s even easier than Photoshop to edit and explore colour combinations.
We’re also going to add a halftone effect to give the overall aesthetic a bold, graphic look that’s perfect for adding some creative flair.
So, whether you’re a beginner or a pro, stick around because this tutorial is going to help you get some bold graphic effects in your work.
Let’s get into it!
