Step 2 Creating the moire pattern

There is a great deal of math available on the net about moire patterns, however, since it is spring break, we will forgo it. A moire pattern can be any pattern that causes an interference effect, for instance here's a moire pattern caused by the office walls where I work. Using a graphics program make any pattern you like, circles, grids, radial lines. I used radial wedges. Contrasting colors are nice too.

How did you make the patterns for the dials?

I just copied the images.

I just created a pattern of colored radial segments in gimp 9I think) and printed to a transparency.

I'm having a lot of trouble doing the same in Gimp. Could you please(!) upload the original GIMP files you used? When I print these they are all pixelated, plus I'm afraid its going to print both the blue and white radial segments onto the transparency paper.

Thanks!

Those are the original files, click on the little boxed i in the upper left hand corner, DL the large 3200 x 3200 originals.
