The candidate's answer will display their interpretation of the zeitgeist, and their understanding of how it is expressed in trends. Their answer will further demonstrate their creative ability to create an antithesis.
4. Who is your muse?
The potential hire’s answer will—besides their portfolio—give you an indication of their style.
