Marvelous tools and wide range of effects and techniques makes it power full graphic tool.

Today using Photoshop(cs4) we are going to create a wonder piece of work which is called speed gauge. there are many tutorials around with the same subject but in this tutorial, I have tried to create more realistic effects with simple steps and less effort. Hope you like it…

Difficulty Level: PRO
Download Pattern

Creating Gauge BG

Step 1:
Draw a circle (Rounded shape) using Ellipse Tool (U) with Background color #FFFFFF and named it R1.

Make sure your circle layer is selected go to Blending Options and select Stroke (on top menu Layer >> Layer style >>Blending Options >> Stroke).

In stroke properties use values shown in image below

In Stroke Fill Type gradient color use #9e9e9e (Gray) and #FFFFFF.  Shape will look like this.

Step 2:
Now duplicate your layer (crtl+J) name it R2. Now press (crtl+t) or in top menu Edit >>Transform >> Scale and scale Radius in middle or R1

Now double click on stroke in blending options and set properties shown in image below.

Your image will look like this

Step3:
Once again duplicate (crtl+J) layer R2 and set background color #000000 and name it R3. Now press Crtl+t and scale it in middle.

In Layer Style>> Blending Options>> Gradient Overlay, here we set values shown in image below.

Now duplicate layer named it needle2 set background color # f3880c and in Layer styles use Drop Shadow

Inner Shadow

Now create another circle in middle of gauge wheel, set Background color# 2d2d2d and in layer styles >> Bevel and Emboss  set these values.
