Just hue the shit out of it.

desaturate → contrast → channels → multiply
some apps allow you to import black and white bitmaps then change the color through fills

gradient map
or maybe sketch>halftone pattern if you want that effect.

create a "gradient map" adjustment layer.

Get a light backdrop, strong lights, lots of brown flour or a bag of concrete, blue paint > adjust white balance on your camera. Done.

monotone - after dropping in your desired color/effect. switch to bitmap, i think within there you can create halftone dot looks as well. after you toyed with that and get your desired look save file out to tif for print.

Another suggestion...maybe simpler.
1. For the background, simply make a selection out of one of the channels (red, green, or blue...whichever gives you the tonal range you prefer)
2. While selection is active, create a layer mask on a shape layer. You can now easily go in and adjust the color on the shape layer as you see fit.
3. If you want to blow out the contrast of the tonality, simply dupe your original layer (as not to destroy your starting point), and futz with layers on the mask.
Best of luck experimenting!

To achieve the effect of different sized heads, what I suspect they've done is moved some people further away from the camera than others. The further away, the smaller they appear.
I suspect the type effect is added in post, possibly in Word but I suspect in Photoshop or Illustrator as they allow for varying levels of transparency - essentially 'see-througheyness'.

desaturate → contrast → channels → crushed blacks

In Indesign you kan do this quite easy on a grayscale image.
Make sure your contrasts are as high as possible.
1. Place the image in your document. (cmd+d)
2. Select the image frame with the selection tool (v) and set the lighter color.
3. Select the image within the frame (a) and then set the darker color.This way you can do it all in indesign and change the colors anyway you want and still keep the original image.
Here ya go:

Thanks a lot for your input guys. I knew there were
other ways to execute this technique. I didn't expect the indesign way, learned something new.
