Set Design The Texas UIL One-Act Play competition encourages any set design to be based on the "unit set," a collection of generic set pieces which can be used to crea a variety of sets, yet be uniform at every contest location. The elements of the unit set are as follows: UIL requires that each set be painted a medium grey. As a director, you can design your set layout with miniature models of the unit set. These models are available commercially from $30 to $60, depending upon the source and the quality. You can also create a model set from paper.
