Laura Guthrie practiced her Photoshop skills by finding an image and covering clothes in different patterns to create a costume design for the play "The Importance of Being Earnest". She used Photoshop tools to create set designs and simple costume designs for some of the characters by dressing them in patterns. Laura also used 3D Studio Max to create a simple set with tools to add stairs and a door, finding the program easy to use with practice but requiring patience. Overall, Laura enjoyed working in digital practices and learning new techniques that could help her design for the stage in different ways.
