halftone dots that get bigger then fade... 1

[jdubz]

okay, mock me, but i'd really like to know how this effect of a 'halftone dots' go from small to large then fade out.

this link shows the exact effect i'm trying to achieve.

i have the swatch of dots, but i can't figure out how to compress them in on the left and then have them 'grow'

i should say, I AM NOT A LINDSAY LOHAN fan, just a measley ol' graphics guy.
thanks in advance!

So you finally gave up on the Photoshop forums, huh?

Look at this thread to get you going the right direction, and I'm working on an easier way to do this particular one, because it's linear.

Draw a circle, then copy and drag it to the right a ways, make it smaller;
Make a blend between the 2 circles;
Copy and drag the blend down at a 45 degree angle until the dots are interspaced just right with the original;
Select both blends, copy and move down a number of times until you have a nice bunch;
Expand the blends, then make a gradient across all of it.
