My first instinct tells me to go for character and narrative, as character comes quite naturally to me. I enjoy designing and creating characters - and would definitely like to work more with narrative at some point. However I feel like going for this would be just working within my comfort zone, I feel like once I find a theme and connect it to character I have an idea in my head about what I want to do and that ties me down, I won't move on from it. Pursuing narrative is an exciting prospect but I think I'm risking just falling into what I always do anyway and I want to do something new.
The idea of publishing and book design intrigues me, as it is broad and can connect over several different areas including education and childrens books, character and narrative and to a degree editorial and reportage - so there are lots of possible avenues to explore. I am also intrigued by the idea of non-regular format books, I feel like there's a lot of room for experimentation here and it's something I haven't tried - obviously I made a concertina publication for 504 and will have to make a publication for 501 too so I'm not saying "I'M GOING TO MAKE A WEIRD BOOK" but I would like to look into it and experiment if it is appropriate for what I pursue.
