Introductory Level Lighting Design Project Worksheet
Introductory Level Lighting Design Project
Please treat this PowerPoint file like a worksheet. Each slide has directions written into it. Follow the
directions, step-by-step, and you will be able to complete this project in good time. You will be including
research images, a color-key, a rough light plot, concept renderings, and concept statements. All of this is
handled entirely within this file.
You might find yourself going back to earlier slides to change things based on decisions prompted by later
slides. This is absolutely cool and appropriate. Move forward and backwards through this presentation until
you are happy with the entire content.
Once you have it the way you want it for every slide, the final slide tells you how to name it and send it to
your instructor.
There is a five-minute tutorial on how to do this project. You are likely to find the project
much easier after watching it.

These are the available color
indicators. Copy them around
to indicate where light will be
coming from. If you click on
them, you can rotate them or
change their size.

area, and scale them.
Magic Sheet: Breaking
up the space into focus areas.
These are the available
lights. Do your best and
place them on the plot where
they should go to create
your plot. Don’t worry about
rotating them if you don’t
want to.
IMPORTANT: You may only
use 90 lights total.
I am looking to see
ROUGH understanding
Here.
If the units are touching
and overlapping, that’s
FINE! This will
undoubtedly be a
little messy,
Rough Plot: Show
us where lights go.
Copy/Paste These

Mockup #1 with
Lightlabs
Using the lightlabs below, combine approximations of the colors or textures you
have chosen. Take a screen-capture and include it here. You are not quite making
a true image of potential cues. You are creating arrangements of color, key-light,
and texture for discussion.
