i always get frustrated when people as how to achieve a certain effect. i mean figuring it out for yourself is half the fun and who knows what original idea it might lead too.......but alas, i digress and become the hypocrit.
my client wants this pointalized, duotone, lo-fi effect for a website i'm making and i havn't the time to figure it out....need to show him stuff tomorrow....wondering if anyone could point me to a tutorial, or throw a bone as to the fastest way to achieve the style. i know it's a lame post but your help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers.

looking at that you could mess around with the threshold of an image and start from there.

desaturate/duotone, add noise, convert to indexed color or use poster edges or something..

In photoshop, on the menu
Image >> Mode >> Indexed Color
, use a low number of colors (3 or 4), Forced color: black and white, use diffusion or pattern dither - depending on what style you like it.

You can always just "save for web" in photoshop as a 2 color gif.

i'm with epictive...
but also, in the same palette use "selective" and "pattern"
that might help ya...
