The topic discussed in this short article interested me as I had recently participated in a group discussion with other students on issues similar to this and will affect us all when we start working.
The award winning, high profile illustrator Paul Davis talks about his growing annoyance at what he refers to as the increase of client control in illustration. He believes that by these clients "thinking too lazy" and "being too safe" that illustrators are creating poor quality work. For this he blames the clients, who will not allow the illustrators to get on with the job properly and to create great work. That these clients "increasing reliance on photo libraries and stock shots" is damaging the industry. Davis also gives good advise for illustrators in the future: “It’s never been more important to be strong and never give up. We need to push people, push clients to get good work through.”
