- Tone of voice? I'm not sure! I like working on sensitive emotional things (see editorials) but also the daft and the silly. I'm not sure how I could word it, but getting an emotional response from my work is always something key.
- Considering the idea of a practice that *goes beyond illustration*. I enjoy and would like to think of what I do as more typical illustration is successful, but I also have interest in more personal things (looking towards self-publishing, and vaguely beginning to look at artist residencies, teaching etc). I don't see why these sorts of practices can't feed into one another- "examining different contexts for my work to go into"
- The discussion surrounding ideas for personal projects was convoluted and nonsensical (on my part) but keywords that came out of it : big, large scale, exhibition, immersive, education, exploration of visual language... I'd just, like to make something different, or very thoughtful, to what I normally do...
- My plan is to sit on those thoughts, using the first semester more for my traditional illustration portfolio and competitions and the second for that BIG project
I was recommended to look at Rachel Lillie, someone who works as illustrator but also exhibits installations etc. I'm reminded of Laura Carlin, not so much in the way that she works but the way this sort of practice emerges, a balance between the commercially commissioned and the more personal.

It feels a bit odd to start to look at working in this way when it hadn't occurred to me before, somehow it feels too late, but I haven't even began my career! It's something I want to consider...
