myLAMP

 

Day 1 

 

Day 2 (FINAL)

 In this assignment, I used Adobe Illustrator CS3 in order to create a lamp. I was expected to brainstorm and design a lamp thats original and unique. My final product was a rock lamp. The lamp had different colored flat rocks, stacked on each other as the body of lamp. Then, I made the light switch and stand where the light bulb is held. The final thing I made was the lamp shade with a creme colored shading. The elements of art I used were shape and color. I used shape by using the 3D,revolver to get the "3D" effect on the lamp shade, rocks, and switch stand. I used colors such as green, burgundy,brown, gray, and black for the rocks to give an African feeling. The principles of design I used were balance and proportion. I used balance in order to make sure my colors and shapes were working together to create the image of a lamp. I used proportion to make sure  all of my angles were proportioned or balanced.  My sketch does not effectively represent my project because in my sketch everything was 2 dimensional, in my project it was 3 dimensional.
