Benday Dot Sound Effect
(Pop Art Painting Project 2)
What are Benday Dots?
The Benday dot printing process is named after Benjamin Day Jr., and is similar to pointalism. Depending on the effect, color and optical illusion needed, small colored dots are closely spaced, widely spaced or overlapping. Pulp comic books of the 1950s and 1960s used Ben-Day dots in the four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to inexpensively create shading and secondary colors such as green, purple, orange and flesh tones. Ben-Day dots differ from halftone dots in that the Ben-Day dots are always of equal size and distribution in a specific area.
