Ok, this collab is like one giant quiz. The goal is to make a picture of a common, household item that most everyone has seen. That alone is boring, so just do a zoomed in (or out) version of a peice of it. Just take a look at the things around your computer. You could do the corner of a CD case, maybe a button or two on a digital camera, maybe an extreme close-up of a strawberry. Who knows what it could be! The other, more different goal is to make sure that people are actually going to know what it is once someone posts the answer. So don't do something without detail, such as a toothpick, cause noone will know what it is. Only one peice should be up, and once someone guesses what it is, another person may post theirs. I'd like to ask for no "Wow... this one's hard. What is it?" posts. Only legitimate and logical guesses, please. And remember, keep the objects common. Not everyone knows a taser when they see one, let alone a small, zoomed-in portion of one. ------------- "I was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

Whoa, people like this idea Those were some good ones, though I couldn't exactly place Brian's right away. I saw it as a knob, but I figured it would be for a DVD player or something. And yeah, it IS good practice. Oh, and the things don't necessarily have to be at the right angle. You could have a sideways e, if you wanted. ------------- "I was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

Since it's a bit unclear what I pixeled, I'll post the reference. Unmicroscoped version. It's a speaker knob! Yes, I know, unispired. |

Nah, definately DS. The SNES had purple-ish buttons, remember? (or yellow-red-blue-green for the European/Japanese version)
