Notes about Set Design Job Profile

From this I have learnt what skills I need to work the set design aspect of theatre design. I am going to look at some of the links at the bottom and if there is something interesting I will write about it on my blog.


"Other useful subjects include interior design, fine art, 3-D design and architecture."  I am going to look into these other aspects to look at in from another area and I think the interior design will help especially because of the measuring and room design.




I will look into what it takes to join the 'Society of British Theatre Designers'.

• creativity and imagination ✔
• practical skills in drawing and model making ✓
• good communication and 'people skills' ✓
• organisational skills ✔
• budget awareness ✓
• a good eye for detail ✔
• the ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines ✓
• research skills ✓
• problem-solving ability ✔
• a flexible and adaptable attitude ✔
• knowledge of the production process, including technical aspects such as lighting and sound. ✓ 

I need to work on a few of these but I think volunteering at a theatre will help.
