I think the areas of the creative industries where my work fits the most is Character & Narrative and Publishing & Book Design.
In my work, I primarily focus on character, narrative and humour, and putting that into physical comics! However, my work could potentially (and has in the past) expand into Editorial & Reportage, as there is opportunity for studying people/characters, or making comics as editorial pieces.
My work could also expand into Retail & Merchandise, as in the future I do hope to expand my practice into saleable products, such as mugs and T-shirts for example. In Responsive, I'm doing the UK Greetings brief, which involves producing not only greetings cards but also accompanying wrapping paper and a gift bag, so I'll need to consider how my work will work in those formats. This also comes under Product & Packaging.
I could also envision my work in the Advertising & Promotion category, perhaps in the form of gig posters or other event advertising, as that is something I'm personally interested in.
The only area of the creative industries I'm not sure my work fits in is Object & Environment. I'm not quite sure what this category actually entails (I don't like to draw either of these things really), but I guess perhaps how my illustration would fit in an environment such as a shop window, or on a large-scale mural? A lot of these industries seem to overlap!
I guess my work could fit in that industry, but I think comic strips (and graphic novels) work better on paper/the web, rather than blown up to a larger scale, but I could see a character-based piece at a bigger size in the environment.
