Photo-Patterns

"What's that button do?" "Death Ray." "That one?" "Hellfire Cannon." "...and the glowing one?" "Coffee's done."

Non-Photoshop version can be found on my Tumbr.

I had the privilege of going on a behind the scenes tour of the WKAR studios recently.  I liked the different patterns on the wipe buttons.  The original photo was a bit larger, but I opted to crop it as you see here–I liked the glowing button a bit off-center. I ran this through the ink-outlines filter in Photoshop, and used the Curves Tool a bit (the original image was kinda flat).
