illustration bros and bras. wondering if you could help me out with achieving an effect....
sort of like ascii art, i need to convert an image to be made up of many of the same image. in my case i want to take a picture of a woman and make her be made up of a logo. the logo would be smaller where the picture is lighter and vise versa?
anybody know how to achieve this effect? i got email effects to see if i could do it with an ascii art generator but not luck, you can only use text (go figure).
any help would be greatly appreciated.

there is a way in Photoshop..
- isolate the logo
- make a selection (box) around it
- choose define pattern..(under edit)
- open the image you want to adjust (the portrait in this case)
- choose image>mode>bitmap..
- in the following dialogue box dropdown under 'method' pick 'custom pattern..'
- choose the pattern you just savedclick ok and be proud of yerself..

assuming that the woman is vector made , place woman in front of logo, select both, and then ctrl+7

appreciate the lookout menia, but i'm not trying to mask.
take a look at this:
http://www.levitated.net/daily/l…i'm not trying to animate anything, but you see how the faces are made up of squares? i'm looking to make up an image of logos (instead of squares). anybody have any pointers? thanks.

the earlier response that said to Defin the Logo as a pattern is correct, however, after you define your pattern, Paint Bucket the entire canvas with that Pattern selected on its own layer, than make the layer a selection, and on your Photo layer, choose Layer-layer mask-reveal selected. Or you could just make the layer with the logo a cliping mask on top of the photo.. either way, its real easy, and done all the time.. be creative

i have a feeling people are missing the point, like i did..
like a dot pattern the size of the logo (or any other shape that serves as a dot in this case) should scale depending on the density of the image's shadows etc.

i think we are talking custom scripts for illy here tho..

well if that is what you are talking about, than you should right your own algorythm to calculate this, because i dont believe photoshop will do this for you.

yah, after looking at the link you posted, you are not going to be able to achieve "that" efffect with a simple method or filter in photoshop, i think that is the point of this dudes work, ya know? like, "i put a little thought into my process, thats what makes it unique"
-just a thought

i have seen it in print (ads) as well.. i cannot imagine there's not one simple filter out there that does this.

you could probably use the Color Halftone filter, along with a few other clever steps to achieve this effect, but i do not think there is a "simpler" method in photoshop- you may want to look for a third party filter that someone has already written, but that takes all the fun out of it, no?

Doesn't the graphic hose in Freehand do something along those lines? Define a pattern and spray away. Yes, No, Maybe So?
