The first question was "How much as students are you influenced by tutors and peers in terms of taste?"
In terms of what artists/ illustrators to look at for inspiration I would say a lot - if they recommended something than I would take a look.
The next questions were : Do you produce work to please? For me the answer to this is yes, it is more important to please other people with my work than it is myself.
Do the projects affect the way your work looks?
Only in terms of colour for example if we were given a limited colour palette or if we are given a target audience.
Do the projects stunt or extend your development as a designer / illustrator?
I think they extend them - if I am given limitations will have to think more carefully about certain aspects of my work.
The question after these was : Are blogs such as "Its Nice That" and "Ffffound" genuine artibers of taste ? If so what gives them authority? http://www.itsnicethat.com/
Yes because it is professional budding illustrators will want to look at the illustrators work they show so they can develop their work so that they can become a professional
Should we take much notice of the work of others?
Yes as they can help us develop a style and encourage us to experiment.
Is there a danger of becoming too influenced in current trends?
Yes this could stop work from becoming unique.
In a world saturated by images is it possible to be unique?
Naturally no two artists draw the same so as long as you don't let things influence you to much then your uniqueness will show
What defines our taste?
Tastes are personal to each individual - they make us unique, if every one liked the same thing there would be no debates or change, there would be no diversity.
