This castle was built for my model building class. We were learning how to use Photoshop to help us in model making. It's based on a sketch I had used the semester earlier when taking Photoshop.
Private Lives
by Noël Coward.
Act II. I do not have a model of Act I, as we only had to build a model for one of the acts and I wanted to try and build a stained glass window. We were assigned no specific theatre space.

Buried Child
by Sam Shepherd
As difficult as I discovered making a model look old and run down is, I really enjoyed it. One of the earlier models built for Scene Design II at SDSU. We were again assigned no specific theatre, just the generic one for our class.

Scissor Sisters Concert
This is a design for a concert tour for the group Scissor Sisters. For Collaborative Studies class, our group consisted of one scenic designer, one lighting designer, one costume designer and one technical director. It was an interesting process, especially as at this point I had never before been to a rock concert in my life. So, unlike my classmates, I had no idea what I was doing! Unfortunately, my technical director couldn't offer any advice as he'd never been to a rock concert either. Our group decided to go in the direction of an old, dilapidated theatre, with a Moulin Rouge type feel. It is a traveling show, it was the technical directors job to make sure the set and lighting could all be broken down to fit into the trucks for transport.
Full set
The 3 platforms in the back (with the lavender curtains beneath them) were audience seating areas--for very high priced tickets! These were to make up for some of the audience space being taken away by our stage jutting out into the audience as it does. The 2 screens on either side are for projections of close ups of the band members.
Floor detail
The platforms which form part of the scissors are for the band. There are footlights along the edge of the stage, as well as rope lighting in the floor which frame out the scissor shape.
The windmill
The windmill does actually spin throughout the concert, there are lights along each of the blades. The colored "shapes" on the proscenium are all painted in glow-in-the-dark paints.
