2011 Motion Graphic Design Census

We recently posted the results of the 2010/09 Motion Graphic Design Census, which can only mean one thing: It’s time to get the 2011 census underway. Over 600 people have responded so far. Let’s get those numbers higher.

This one is only five questions long, and the whole number crunching bit has been worked out. Honestly.

Once again, kudos to Bran Dougherty-Johnson for putting this all together. Go Bran, go!
