That was in the days of dial-up being the most common connection and file-size being everything. Creating this sort of overlay on top of large images drastically cut down on the resultant file size. Hence its popularity! Interesting how things come around again ... I remember this design style used to be popular on websites a long time ago.

I think the pattern is a little too tight. The pixels should be further apart. I totally get the procedure but I think it is up to the designer to adjust and decide what looks best for their design/image. Thanks for posting! I agree with Thorton above.

NEVER put this effect over text. Step 2. NEVER use this effect as stark black dots. They need to have an opacity value less than 1, or be a less constrasty color than pure black. Step 3. The actual correct way to make this effect is to have the pixels not touching, but spaced 1 pixel apart. So a 2x2 pattern with the top left pixel filled in. Step 4. Make sure when demonstrating an effect like this you show an image at 100% crop, so that you don't try to sell this effect and instead show nasty moire patterned images Step 1.
