During a 7-week digital practices project, the document discusses how Lucy Hughes learned to use Adobe Photoshop, 3D Max, and AutoCAD. In Photoshop, she learned to add textures to images and create mood boards and photomontages. With 3D Max, she created a 3D model of a stage set for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that could be viewed from different angles. AutoCAD was useful for creating technical drawings and 2D designs. Overall, Lucy found the project helpful for learning new design software skills, though some programs like 3D Max and AutoCAD were more difficult given her lack of prior experience with them.
