Questions to ask 5 artists

Interview questions for the 5x5 artists

I thought it would be useful to ask the 5 artists I am featuring in my publication several questions in order to gain an insight into their ways of working and any advice they might have. Here are the following questions:

1. Where do you find inspiration from? 
2. How do you overcome visual problems/ creative block?
3. How has your style evolved as a designer? How would you describe your style?
4. What was the last thing you were really impressed by?
5. What are your main goals/ objectives as a designer?
6. Do you think designers should take themselves less seriously?
7. How important is humour in graphic design? 
8. Do you think that contemporary design trends are becoming short lived/ outdated more quickly?  
9. What advice would you give to a graphic design student? 
10.  Do you work for a specific clientele? Do you find it important to be selective in who you work for?
