Lighting the Stage

Inspiration from Erte's "Victory." I like the way Erte stylizes the sun's rays.

Ellen,

I appreciate that you are focused on getting your lighting fixture started. The basic idea of two reflective dishes with reflective legs is a strong one. Think about how you can substitute in different shapes for the dishes to get different effects. Take a look at hubcap designs to get an idea of the possibilities.
To get the visual effects you want, you need to think about how light will reflect in the fixture. As the graphic program is not totally accurate, you may need to simulate some of the effects through multiple sources.
I like the idea of presenting the wireframe to explain the renders. Your sheet would be more exciting if you included one rendered view that was very different from the rest.

Can you please post some work in progress and inspiration images so we know how you are thinking?
