A halftone is an image or printing technique that "simulates continuous tone through the use of dots, varying either in size, in shape or in spacing." For Illustrator and Photoshop, there's a long list of halftone filters, swatches, and compositing techniques used for printing and newsprint, comic, retro, and other effects. But the fun of After Effects is the ability to play with scale and other properties in time, and some techniques may not be immediately apparent without built-in effects.
