Emergent Forms...
i used this sketch overlay and made last weeks assignment into a free standing luminare. i wanted teh same quality of a small elegant looking lamp that could dramatically impact the environment.
This is really elegant and very succesful... the type of glow light is really nice and showing multiple in an image is a great way to show how the fixture could be in a setting... i really like this...
The idea of using your light fixture in a hallway like setting was very successful. The repetition of dark and the shadow and glow of your light fixture is very appealing. The sphere of your lighting fixture becomes almost this glowing orb lighting your way as its stand is hidden in the shadows.
This is a very nice poster: Very nice work on the graphics. I really like how you took an angled view that shows the series of growing lights creating the repeated pattern. The subtle small sketch and intriguing plan image set off the larger images nicely. The font has a nice feel and the colors all pull together.
The pinwheel sticks holding the lantern is an elegant idea and you managed to find proportions, colors and textures that work well. If you wanted to make the images look more "realistic", you would need to show a lamp base and a wire dangling from the globe. Perhaps you could also consider putting the lamps up against some thing more than a plain wall so you could reveal that the patterns are shadows. That is, if there were a chair-rail or other wood trim on the all, the shadows would distort and it would help us to understand how the shades were casting the patterns.
I have small suggestions: in the major upper left image, the right most fixture is being cropped by the frame. The word PENUMBRA needs a little breathing room - perhaps hold the definition out with space or a single dash rather than the complicated .(parentheses)
Overall: very nice!! Also please post your onion lamp - I really liked both the digitla rendering and the physical result.

There are some cool things going on here with the shadows and the repeating objects... they have a very human form to them.
The renderings seem too dark perhaps? It sets a wonderful mood but I want to se more of the objects themselves.
Cheers,
