Inspiration Reminder: Carnovsky RGB work, but put it in a frame.
Since my design preview report, I have spent most of my time in the BTU at ATLAS creating sawdust and painting. The frame is constructed of 1″x2″ Lumber, that I cut a rabbet “step” into to hold the photo and its backing. The face of the frame is constructed of 1″x3″ and it sort of makes this frame more like a shadowbox, this is where I am hiding my LEDs and electronics. I planned on using acrylic, but the reflectiveness seems to ruin the desired effect, there are a couple work arounds that I have to experiment with, before I scrap the glass/plexiglass totally. Being the constructor of this piece I am painfully aware of every flaw that it has, but overall I am on a path that I can take pride in.
Back of frame (open), and my LEDs
Red and Blue LED test
Still to do: Generate the art using photoshop and experiment with papers and printing techniques, I think I will do the Predator / Prey relationship for the artwork.

Hi Chris, it seems like you have made great progress! It may not work for this iteration of your project, but if you want to continue it I think they make acrylic which has a slightly rougher surface finish which would help reduce the reflections you are dealing with. I really like the contrast between the black frame and the vibrant colors from the LEDs that you have chosen, I think that it will really help your project stand out when it is being displayed. What drew you to the predator/prey relationship? I am excited to see your future progress!
Hi Chris! This is looking really cool. I am curious if you will be laser-cutting the acrylic once you generate the art using Photoshop. I know in the BTU lab there is a similar light effect that someone did in the kitchen using acrylic.
