Using the illustrations
AI-generated illustrations show proposed costume interpretations. They help you compare silhouettes, clothing and stage choices. They are not photographs of historical people or proof of hidden construction.
The two Met photographs show a surviving suit and a Roman sculpture. They are identified as object studies. Other museum and production photographs are research links; they are not reproduced in this collection.
Read each example’s date, place and social context. A material suggested for a stage costume may differ from the material of the historical object. Check the sources and test real fabrics and footwear.
Your work and shared computers
The design tool has no sign-in and does not upload your design work. Notes and a reduced copy of an added drawing stay temporarily in the browser tab. A browser may restore a closed session.
Use Save my project to download editable writing and references for all seven characters. Keep drawing files separately and reattach them when reopening. A downloaded design sheet is for reading and printing; it is not an editable project backup.
Before leaving a shared school computer, use Clear my work. Clear work in any earlier version you used too. Remove downloaded files you no longer need, following your school’s rules. Clearing the tool does not remove Downloads or other copies.
External research links open another website, whose privacy rules apply. The website host may keep ordinary connection logs. Read Stark Drama’s privacy information.
