The document discusses the use of Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, and AutoCAD for theatre design projects. In Photoshop, the author created a mood board, costume drawing, and set design. In 3D Studio Max, a 3D model of a curved table with legs and a bowl was created. AutoCAD exercises included using line, fillet, chamfer, offset, rotate, and trim commands to design a floppy disk. The author felt more practice was needed with 3D Studio Max and AutoCAD to become competent in their professional use.
