Excellent work. What software did you use to produce those dial graphics ?

Stot 27th March 2013 10:53 AM

I use CorelDraw as I have been using it over 20 years now. Adobe Illustrator would also be a good choice as both of these are vector (math) based and would give the best results.

You could use a Photoshop or Gimp type program as long as you work at ~600dpi and keep everything on layers.

Inkscape is the open source vector drawing program. http://inkscape.org/ I used it to bang together the logo in my avatar.

I was wondering if a badge could be produced from your avatar design?

Yeah it can. I'll be doing a bonnet badge and wheel hub badges. I have a small CNC mill so ill be able to knock them up but DIY CNC is a slow process.
