How do i go about doing the dots? is it some kind of bitmap?

 

[A Perfect Pixel]

Looks like oversized halftones to me...

Check the tutorial I posted a day or two ago in this section, set the value to a higher number to achieve bigger dots

Here's a quick pic to achieve the same result:

This also works with gradients as well, to have the dots go from larger to smaller

Start with a gradient, and then apply the effects in that tutorial for Illustrator, it works great!
