505: reimagining project ideas

I rushed into those ideas for the project. I was worried about having to use existing material to base it on so went for an educational book. It's not entirely where my interests lie, and I think it could easily result in something quite basic, plain facts. I still want to do a children's book for the same reasons as before but maybe something more narrative based. Illustrating for children is quite scary because I think it's easy to make something flat and maybe even condescending, but looking at illustrators like Laura Carlin who handle children's narrative with nuance and sophistication has inspired me.

Now I need to think of a topic!
