Costume Design Second Section: Choose two characters from the play that you will design costumes for (you will only need to design one costume per character, if the character has costume changes). For each costume, you will need:
- A paragraph or two describing your vision for the character and the costume, including specific references from the script.
- At least 10 pictures of research per costume, with a short description of each picture (one or two sentences will be fine). Make sure to pay attention to the time period of the play.
- Do NOT use pictures from other productions of your play, your research needs to be your own original research.

Costume Design Third (final) Section: Your two costume designs will need to be created by hand (watercolor paints are the general preferred medium, although we could discuss others). These designs should be full color designs (no pencil sketches).
Each costume design should be painted onto the character who would be wearing the costume.
If available, you should also add a fabric swatch, stapled to the costume design, to show the color and texture of the fabric.
The designs should be professional in appearance and organization.
