Poll Results: How Experienced Are You?

Bookmark on: del.icio.us

Back in the beginning we posted a poll to find out about our readers. In part because we’re nosy. In part because we’d like to target future posts.

With 113 people participating in the poll, the results are …

  • Self taught, four plus years in the business = 27%
  • Design grad, four plus years in the business = 20%
  • Design grad, two to four years in the business = 17%
  • Self taught, two to four years in the business = 11%
  • Self taught, one to two years in the business = 6%
  • In-house designer thinking about taking the leap = 6%
  • Design grad, one to two years in the business = 4%
  • Basic photoshop, illustrator, etc., skills = 3%
  • Enrolled full time or part time in a design school = 3%
  • Design grad, some professional experience = 2%
  • A few design courses under the belt = 2%

Thanks for joining in,

It’s early days yet, but we’re nosy. We want to know more about BoDo’s readers.

You’ll find the poll on the homepage. Just to your left on the sidebar (under the search). If you’d let us know your experience level, that’d be grand.

Below is the selection on offer. If you feel we’ve left one out, let us know by adding yours to the comments.

How Experienced Are You?

  • Basic photoshop, illustrator, etc., skills
  • A few design courses under the belt
  • Enrolled full time or part time in a design school
  • Design grad, some professional experience
  • Self taught, one to two years in the business
  • Design grad, one to two years in the business
  • Self taught, two to four years in the business
  • Design grad, two to four years in the business
  • In-house designer thinking about taking the leap
  • Design grad, four plus years in the business
  • Self taught, four plus years in the business

The results will be posted at the end of the BoDo Niblets: Starting Out and Setting Up Series. In roughly about two weeks. Or so.

Thanks for your support,
