Good for you! Are you a member of NAR or Tripoli?
What rocket & motor did you L-1 with?
If you found building that rocket easy, I would go for scratch build/design of your own. If it was a bit tough, opt for building another kit for practice & developing your skills, before attempting a design of your own.
Next Q is: was your L-1 paper or fiberglass kit. I recommend fiberglass for L-2 mainly for it's durability and being less likely to get damaged from travel/handling.
Paper is fine, if that's what you are comfortable with. Been around forever & most of us started with that also.
What is your timeframe for doing L-2?
You can just hang out here for awhile...if you are not in a hurry. Reading some build threads such as this is an education all by itself:
https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/how-to-build-a-stock-3in-darkstar-cj-step-by-step.55019/
it's pinned to top of High Power thread here.
It will take several days worth of time to be comfortable with Openrocket unless you are a program wizard.
Once again your timeframe will dictate how far & how much time you are willing to invest in this.
Don't forget you need to pass a written test for L-2 also.
After some answers the above Q's it will help in giving you more accurate advice.
Good luck & welcome to the Forum....... what ever you decide, I would keep it simple & basic design of 3 or 4fins and a nose cone.
Learn to design around stability according to ratio of center of pressure to location/relation of center of gravity. That and the basic rule of at least 5-1 thrust ratio. If you already understand these, you are half way there...if not..get ready for some homework.
