Craft: The lamp was made from wood, translucent wrapping paper, string lights and a puck light. The Design for the lamp first had to first be drawn in Adobe Illustrator where I created the dimensions of the lipstick lamp's base and the cylindrical, triangular frame of the lipstick's tip. Once the drawing was made, I transferred the document to be printed by a laser printer. Using 1/4 inch, 12x24 plywood, the printer cut designs wherever there were black solid lines. The final image of the lamp was taken by a Canon DSLR.
Concept: I wanted to create a lamp that would be a novelty. So with that in mind in addition to my enjoyment of makeup, I chose to design it as a lipstick lamp because it seemed like an interesting idea.
Composition: Since I didn't want to create a typical, red lipstick which is widely seen in pop culture, I decided to choose blue for the lipstick's color due to my personal enjoyment of edgy lipstick colors like purple, blue, and green. I wanted to generate as much light possible while also communicating to the viewer what the lamp was so I design lip prints to be cut out on the front and back panels of the base. I initially wanted to have the entire tip of the lipstick illuminated but could not find the right light source. I hope to play with the lighting in the future.
