GDL 2 - Speedometer

DUE: Tuesday, Feb 18th - End of class

Create a speedometer by following the tutorial.

Learn to repeat a pattern using the Transform Effect Pattern.  Make sure you create the dash at the top and bottom of the circle.  Notice the 7.5 degree setting results in 24 lines (180 / 7.5 = 24).  Since you have a line at the top and bottom, 180 degrees X 2 creates your entire 360 degree rotation.

Grading Objectives

• Proper line placement / 7.5 degree rotation
• Creating depth and dimension with gradients
• Details, details, details
• speed numbers
