For my project, I decided on making light up Origami. I did not want to fold paper cranes because when you string lights through them, they don’t light up as much. So I decided to fold cubes because they are brighter. Another thing I decided on was to fold them with the color on the inside and the white side on the outside. This is so that you can’t see what picture I created until all the LEDs are turned on. I planned out my image through drawing with pixels in photoshop and decided to create an ocean wave. I will be creating a grid 26×30 of origami cubes that will eliminate this image (hopefully)
I am using up all my origami paper that I have so I have different shades of blue so I tried to add it to my pixel drawing to see if the different shades of blue look good or bad.
