The controllers were done in pastel. I did the actual pastel artwork about 3 months back, but I always felt that the piece would be complete if I digitally added some text effects to it.
I lightened up the light areas on the controllers in certain areas, as it would always end up too dark when I took pictures of it.

"Ignite your amusement" is an encouragement to play video games, as they do well in feeding one's creativity, amusement, and imagination (hopefully to one day be used in a more beneficial fashion ), but primarily amusement. A PS2 controller was used because the quote is synonymous to Sony's success at bringing video gaming from the "underground" (for lack of a better word) into the mainstream in a bigger way than other companies have done.

"Escape from Reality" is obviously a metaphor for how the experiences of playing games can be thought of as "going off in your own world", but it also points out the nature of online gaming, which further reinforces the ideal. Xbox can be best representative since it was among the first to have substantial online console gaming success, moreso than other companies, such as Sega.

Finally, "Expand your imagination" identifies what Video Gaming can play on one's imagination, since the games themselves are full of creative and artistic environments, sound, and gameplay. Best to represent is the Game Cube, because of Nintendo's obsession for being the more innovative company.

In any case, here it is. Enjoy.
