DotMan ToolKit Vintage Comic Effects

DOTMAN TOOLKIT – Professional Vintage Comic Book Effects for Adobe Photoshop

Dotman Toolkit is inspired by the old system of comic book printing of the early 30s that lasted until the late 80s, the system was known as the 4-colour process or 4CP and was characterized by being economical and of low quality. The 4CP inspired many creators of Pop Art and remains today as a style in graphic design. The goal of the Dotman Toolkit is to imitate all the aesthetics of old comic books.
