Abstract

This project investigates the design and production of an LED signage inspired by contemporary art movements, utilizing a practice-LED methodology. The research integrates primary and secondary data sources, including academic literature, case studies, and online resources, to inform and enhance the creative process. High-quality materials such as LED modules, power supply cables, weatherproof sealants, mounting hardware, and fabricated plastic, and optional enclosures were meticulously selected to ensure the signage's functionality and aesthetic appeal. The LED signage, measuring 4 by 3 feet, was designed to incorporate abstract motifs and modern artistic elements, creating a visually1 striking and culturally significant display. The production process involved stages of design, material selection, fabrication, assembly, testing, and quality assurance to achieve optimal performance and durability. The research findings demonstrate that the LED signage effectively communicates its intended message, captivates viewers with its vibrant visuals, and resonates with cultural references. The project highlights the intersection of art, technology, and culture, showcasing the potential of LED technology to enhance artistic expression and community engagement. Recommendations for maintenance, community involvement, and sustainability are provided to ensure the continued impact and relevance of the LED signage. This study underscores the importance of integrating artistic innovation with technological advancements to create meaningful and immersive experiences.
