Post 6: Main Project Plans and Inspiration

For my main project, I want to do something with RGB LEDs. I want to do something similar to RGB LED strips that are commonly found in college dorms. I was initially inspired by the picture below while going to parties at various friends’ houses and I wanted to do something like this for my house. I also have some experience working with RGB LEDs so I am hoping to leverage that. This is just something I was drawn to and I think it looks cool.

In the picture above, you can see simple strips but I think I want something more than just simple strips. It also has the minimalist aesthetic which is mainly what I think I will go for when I converge on a final idea.

I was also inspired by the Astra Lumina art show that came to my city.

Seeing the fluid movements in multiple dimensions here made me want to do something that has more than just a simple strip at the ceiling of my room.

Putting these two together, I am thinking of making something similar to Nanoleaf lines. This is a product that you can attach to your wall and have it be a certain color to set the mood.

For my project, I am thinking of creating a hexagon pattern since hexagons are the bestagons. I am not yet sure how big this will be since I am not sure if I want something that is just a small object or something that covers an entire wall. Below is a sketch of what I am thinking.

Obviously, there is a lot that needs to be figured out, but I will stay flexible for now.
