In the ACLU Design Handbook (9.5MB PDF) the use of the so called "modern engraving" effect is detailed on pages 135-137. What would be a good way to achieve this look in Photoshop (or Illustrator, fwiw)?
Ideally, I'd be looking for a way that
- does not require the installation of plugins or actions and can be created with the default tools available in Photoshop
- produces somewhat smooth lines, see example image #2
- allows for the direction of the lines to be adjusted easily (eg, not using a fixed pattern)
- is possible to do in a reasonable time, without too much work (or layers)
The duotone color effect can be added with a simple gradient map layer style, so it's not strictly part of the question.
