However I do feel a little apprehensive about doing lots of different projects. I don't know why I was so unsure about potentially working in children's illustration, when my FMP for level 5 proved so fun. I don't want book illustration to be my main focus for THIS year's FMP, so the idea of taking a pre-existing text like the Carmelite prize could be a good idea. I really think that children's illustration often has the most scope for the most, visually, exciting illustration. And drawing chickens aren't so bad either.
Asides from my final BIG project, I think it would be good to stick to client/ competition lead briefs, to practice and also evidence I can work in that way. This could even be competitions, like the Folio Society, adapted to cater to my own tastes, whilst also making that work a little diverse than say, all of the other graduates who will have To Kill A Mockingbird in their portfolios.
