Vivaan Singh designs a new iteration of the ESC Keycap as a part of the Render Weekly Design Challenge. It is meant to take the term 'escape' and push that in a visually symbolic and ergonomic way. The keycap is designed with a warped look and serves as a reminder to indulge in escapism as well.
Vivaan notes that "It can get really frustrating looking for the escape you need." The keycap has a continuous upper surface and along one corner, it cascades off similar to a waterfall and can fit into any mechanical keyboard. The word is applied in white against a black base for tonal contrast and it also warps offwards as well to build towards the visual illusion.
