VectorTone | Halftones and More 216200

Halftones and lines are used EVERYWHERE. They're a great way to shade and texture your work. The only problem is that it's really boring and monotonous to make them in Illustrator. That's why we hunkered down with a pot of coffee and make VectorTone. To make the essential halftone and line textures you need, so you don't have to. This pack includes clean halftones and lines, as well as rough versions scanned from a vintage army surplus catalog. We've also included a simple Illustrator action called Vectorized. Just select your pattern, push Play on the action, and your textures will be converted to vectors. -- Where'd I Get These Textures? Since I started RetroSupply 18 months ago I've become a serious collector of vintage books, catalogs and packaging. It inspires me and I just really enjoy seeing these objects around me. Recently I discovered a rare and beautiful Army surplus catalog from the 1950s. I found it on eBay and had to have it. The bidding got pretty crazy (this catalog had some amazing illustrations and textures). I ended up spending $187 for this old catalog. I can honestly say that when the carefully wrapped package came in the mail I opened it slowly and enjoyed admiring every page. Of course, the halftones, ink textures and lines were AMAZING. So I decided to convert it into vectors to share with you!
