1990s Halftone Photo Effect

Built around the aesthetics of early digital imaging and vintage CMYK printwork, this halftone effect stands for the pixelated charm of ’90s fashion editorials and teen mag gloss. The pattern exaggerates color separation and dot structure for a loud, nostalgic finish that still holds its edge. The set includes two high-quality PSD files (vertical and horizontal layouts), each equipped with Smart Object layers.

Ideal for lookbooks, music promos, editorial portraits, event flyers, throwback posters, album covers, experimental fashion branding, and moodboard visuals. The result is high-contrast and retro, but flexible enough to work with both color-saturated and desaturated inputs.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
