1. A method for receiving input in a computing device having a graphical user interface presented on a display, comprising the steps of: (a) identifying at least one additional function of the computing device, the at least one additional function being accessible on at least a portion of an underlying image that is not currently visible to a user; (b) presenting a current image to a user, the current image representing a current function and covering at least a portion of the underlying image such that access to the function is at least partially covered by the current image; (c) establishing a predetermined user input for providing access to the underlying image and the function accessible thereon; and (d) upon receiving the predetermined user input from the user, initiating a visual effect depicting the current image being at least partially removed from over the underlying image to visually expose and enable access by the user to the at least one additional function, which was previously visually hidden by the current image.
