Twenty-one year-old Southern rocker and heartthrob Phillip Phillips was crowned the winner, and American Idol segued into its season finale after-party on May 22 at the L.A. Live Event Deck in downtown Los Angeles. Working with event designer YourBASH and event producer Fox Creative Services, lighting designer Rachel Miller of LA-based Kinetic Lighting incorporated LED fixtures into her rig to light the club-like environment with what she calls "a saturated look with "pops' of white and color, starting with the dark, iconic Idol blue. The LEDs are great looking in red, blue, and purple, or any combination," she says. "Working with LED is different, especially in terms of color mixing, RGB versus CMY, but the LEDs are working toward better color mixing. I really love them with the palette I was using."
