window's buttons optical illusion

[morkinva]

Did you ever notice that a pushbutton on your computer screen appears as sticking out but when you turn the image over its pushing in? example - even the ones in the upper right look like they're pushed in.

Cool, I'm not going to ask how you figured that out.

 

[daveman]

The hard one is trying to see the engraved maroon colored lines as if they still appear engraved rather than embossed.

*BZZZZZZTTTTTT*

a drop shadow would be a shadow on the outside... this is a bevel, then reversing the light direction of the bevel. Even if it was an inner drop shadow there would be no highlighted spots, it would be dark all around.

 

[opticalmace]

are you stoned?

 

[Howard]

Does it matter?

By the way, you didn't turn it over, you inverted it both ways.

 

[ThePresence]

OMFG!
