What you’ll need:

·A 50 cm x 100 cm styrofoam board
·2 cardboards (here’s where you’ll have to pick the color)
·Plastic (like the one you used to cover your school books with)
·Paint
·Permanent markers (OPTIONAL)
·A Knife

Instructions:

·Gif 1: Cut your styrofoam, if you have to. You can also buy two 50 cm x 50 cm styrofoams boards.
·Gif 2: In photoshop (or pixlr, or paint for all I care) create a new blank image that measures the same as you board and create your design.
·Gif 3: Print your poetry at your local Office Depot or something and paste it over your board.
·Gif 4: Cut the board with a hot knife.
·Gif 5: Paint the borders.
·Gif 6, OPTIONAL: Paste the cardboard over the styrofoam board and write your poem by hand (I did it this way). Go through steps 4 and 5 normally.

Science and art have more in common than you might think. Here, lasers (!) are used to study pigment particles in illuminated manuscripts.

Lumio Max Gunawan

The name Lumio is inspired by the idea of an illuminated book. The light turns on when you open the cover and turns off when it’s closed. Lumio illuminates when you need light and stows away compactly when unused, ideal for modern living. Adjust the lamp as your lighting needs change throughout the day. Use it as a table lamp, a wall sconce, ceiling pendant, ambient lighting, outdoor lighting or come up with your own unique ways to use Lumio.
