Artists once used the posterization process to print photos. They reduced the amount of color variation in their images by using fewer colors, in more concentrated areas. That meant the printing took less ink, which in turn made mass production possible. The resulting visual style became a classic that’s still popular today.
Try out a new creative approach to photos by posterizing your holiday card or next social media post. Posterize a portrait to make your subject look heroic, or see what happens when you posterize a sunset photo before you share it with your followers.
