I've decided to focus on designing images to go onto chinese lanterns for this alight project. I've always been interested in candles and lights and shadows. I drew out some initial ideas of how I could approach the project. Started out by looking at different kinds of lanters and what could be done with them.
The most comon and most popular lanterns at the moment are the sky lanterns, being used in films, adverts and for festivals. Designs could be printed on to them, either imagery or text and places around the city as decoration and advertisement for the event.
I also thought about showdows and silhouettes. Designs could be cut out of the lanterns so that when lit they project the designs onto nearby walls/surfaces.
Another simpler and possibly cheaper idea would be paper bags. These would be easier to print onto as they are flat and can be cut into without ruining the product.
