QEGA button background

I wanted to try and make a button grid with a colour palette, some lighting and shadows with a look of a "material" like in a 3D program would, to create a single button. All set in a dark backdrop for dramatic effect.

I really had a play around with the various tools and loved the results, a more artistic design approach to a piece. Made a final merged layer, with a depth of field blur then cast it on a Linear Burn to create soft and dark growing edges from the top left third focal point outward and gently following the colour gradient down to the bottom right - off centre. Helped make these vectors have a material feel.
