I end up going for the IDEA 1 for my final project. But also for all the assignments I choose to follow my sketches from the cyanotypes I made from urban photography! So in the following weeks you will se how the lightstick evolved and how my cyan cities took form in different stages!
what do I struggle in concerts?

Thinking about what I enjoy the most is being a fangirl . Going to concerts is genuinely one of my favorite things ever. I have had many experiences with neon posters and even shape flashes to my camera trying to catch the attention of my favorite artists. And still couldn't make it. YET. My best experience has just happened last year when I add to my sign some christmas lights connected to a battery, this plus my friends pointing at the sign with their flashlights made IT WORK. He saw and read my sign and It was the best day ever.
Also, one thing I noticed is that kpop idols DO really connect with their fans. It is very common for almost every idol to have a lightstick that represents each fandom. This object works anytime and makes a really close connection because the artist can recognise you.
BUT not every fandom has a designed lightstick outside the kpop world, some fans ca't even afford one and some of the existing designs are the same sphere with lights!
THE i d e a
The starting element for this idea is the Blackpink lightstick, which I have. It is called Bl-ping-bong. And I do bought it because it is different and not just a sphere with lights. It has limited versions with some variations on design and funtionality.
The LIGHT STICK v2 POWER BUTTON has a new button with you can control the lights and rhythm.
The LIGHT STICK v2 SPECIAL MUSIC is synchronized with specific songs controlled by an app.
At concerts it is common for the lightsticks to have a "concert mode" in wich it is connected by bluetooth to the sound cabin where the team controls all. But what about the artists that don't have this option in their team? And what about the other artists outside the kpop music.
So the all round lightstick needs to be customizable so I can carry it on every concert, it needs to respect the security measurements, and needs to react to music. In this aspect I imagine it can recognize the beat or measure the decibels between screams and music to SYNCHRONIZE with the VIBE, and not necessarily with the rhythm.
how I will be improving the typical lightsticks
- It must be customizable for any fandom. So you exchange parts and make it your own!
- In needs to be in sync with music or the crowd by changing colors from warm light to cold light
- The changing color can make patterns I can also control
- Has a pocket to hold my phone and record for me
- Still the size permitted by security in concerts
