  1. It is hard to tell from your posters, but from memory this design holds some large advantages. It allows alot of light to escape, whilst shielding the veiwer from the globe. it also incorporates a very innovative method of fastening. One improvement that could be made is of raising the lamp up off the desk a little so that the shadows cast could be more prominent.

  2. I really like how the light is constructed to which it is held together. in terms of improvements the overall form can be enhanced by using this construction method

  3. I like how one piece can be joined to create a 3D form. One improvement would to decrease the gap sizes perhaps by adding an extra arm.
