There are plenty of options when it comes to how you create your stage plot including some free online drawing tools like Google Drawings or Google Sketch Up ( a search for an online drawing tool will render many results). If you have access to Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint you can create basic shapes and add text inside these programs. If you're old fashioned, use a ruler and a pen. Personally I find Adobe Illustrator to be my favorite tool for stage plots, BUT its a little pricey if this is all you will use it for.

Realistic images usually create a busy and hard to follow stage plot.

The more organized the information, the easier it is to understand.

Using basic shapes for everything on the plot will aide in the readability of your plot.

Using symbols and icons for common things like D.I.s, microphones and power drops help keep the stage plot clean.

Avoid cartoon pictures of people and instruments, this causes clutter and makes the plot harder to follow.
