Making a Clock Face in Illustrator

From Sara Froehlich, Guest Contributor

Give your clock face character with images, styles, strokes, or fills. If you want to remove the arrowheads from the hour marks, open the Appearance palette (Window > Appearance) and click the Clear Appearance button at the bottom of the palette. (It looks like the "no" sign, a circle with a slash across it.) Because the clock face is totally vector, you can make it as large or small as you wish. Just make sure to Select > All and then group it (Object > Group) so you don't miss any parts when resizing or moving the clock.
