Do you know how hard it is to cut a rectangle from a roll of tracing paper?

HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. The paper curls, and tears, and generally refuses to cooperate along straight lines and at right angles.

My hatred of design lab stems in part from not being a terribly visually-oriented person and in part from simply not being any good at crafty-type things. I can't even color within the lines, I wind up with bits that go outside and uneven shading.

This is like being in third grade and getting NEEDS IMPROVEMENT on all my handwriting papers.

On the "bright" side, the fundamental design flaws will be almost wholly obscured by the superficial design flaws.

. . . and once I get this bastard built I have to do a colour sketch of it. Gah.

if it's any consolation my ability to draw stopped somewhere at a bout a 1st or 2nd grade level. Of course when you're working with 5 year olds they think you're great...
You'll get what you need done - and the ideas that you are trying to impart will shine through.
Don't think of it as an inability to stay within the lines, but rather as your ability to go "outside of the box".

Thanks, I think, since the ideas are no great shakes either. :)

A useful life philosophy. Less so when your grade depends on boxiness. But, again, thanks.
