Making a clock face in Photoshop

[John.]

Thanks again, I'll take a look when my internet stops playing up, I'm getting timed-out all the time at the moment.

John the attachment is the result of about 20 minutes using Xara Xtreme, a vector drawing program. In Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro it would have taken me 3 to 4 times longer to make the image. It is a rough draft rather than a finished drawing, but should give you an idea of the capabilities of a vector application.

I'm working on it, but I'm very slow.
If I copy your attachment would it give me a head start or wouldn't it work?

John here is the .xar file. I changed the text to shapes in case you do not have the fonts that I used.

You should be able to get an idea of how it was made. You will also need to make your own marks around the dial as those I made are not to scale or positioned correctly.

I've just about got a acceptable speedo(I might make the numbers a bit bigger) god knows how I did it.

Now for the rev-counter

[John.]

Thank you for your help everyone, this is what I ended up with.
Not perfect, I couldn't get the font right, but it will do for the time being.

Is that a real analog clock on the rev counter?

It is yes.
I cheated with that too the original one didn't work so I took a watch apart and fitted it behind the face.

nothing wrong with a bit of 'cheating' as long as its creative
