jazzfish: an evil-looking man in a purple hood (Lord Fomax)

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.

Yes, but if it gets screwed up, I don't get a chance to make it up again next semester. Double Edged Sword my friend.... On the plus side I found out today that I'll have a decent amount of time to get it all working the way I want. I originally thought it would be a time line of 1 month, but the latest estimation is that it will be about 8 months. Now I just have to ge the time to do it. On the negative side, I think by the terms of the contract I won't be technically allowed to use the images in anything else, including portfolio stuff. Of course I'll find a loophole for that.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
