The transit system of my state has a tricolor stripe for it’s logo, and on some of it’s newer trains, the stripe runs horizontally across the engine, and ends in a diminishing halftone type thing. (rounds balls that descrease in size)
Which kinda makes it look like e a comets tail fizzling out. I never really got into halftoning, but tried to duplicate this effect, but just can’t figure out how.
Here’s sort of an exampe of the end of the trains stripe. This isn’t from the actual train, it’s just the closest thing I could find that sort of matches what ‘m talking about. And this example is going up and down… but you’ll get the idea.
Just picture it going right to left.

How do you get dots like that to perfectly run in a straight row and perfectly diminish in size like that?
Whenever I use halftoning in PS…first off…it’s always in multicolors, and second…it’s al over the place…all different random sizes.
How do you control it?
Did the artist just simply go thru the painstaking task of taking a bunch of different sized circles, and lined them up?
Or is there some way of using halftone patterns or something? Any ideas, online tutorials, etc, about this would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks!
