The idea begins with a rough grounplan, a view from the top, that allows the designer to spatially work out where things go and what traffic patterns might be.
The process continues with a rough elevation that allows you to see how a set might look from the audience.
Next, a final groundplan is drawn in scale, meaning that you can actually measure from this drawing with a scale rule and begin to transfer this drawing to the stage. Next would usually be a final front elevation in color, but because of time constraints, we usually forego this piece and pick color and fabrics from paint chips and samples.
Next, a white model is constructed so we may see the set as it will appear in 3D. After the model is complete, we usually produce a rudimentary set of shop drawings for the carpenters to build from.
Finally, the set is constructed, painted and dressed with decoration.
