Graphic Design Inspirations, Box

The graphic design landscape fans out dazzlingly between proceedures that are characterized by digital / technical parameters and design and a stage management of that which is personal, earmarked and hand-made. Photography, street art as well as other expressive forms of art, have a mutually inspiring relationship with design. In contrast to the past decades, all this is not necessarily entirely new qualitatively, but quantitatively it is impressively different. Graphic Design Inspirations compiles over 1.500 works from all across the world. Strategies that are conceptually and communicatively different, topographical quality, visual innovations and originality have been decisive in the selection process of this book.

Dear fellow designerds (yes, intentional spelling, deal with it),

Is there any way to find out information about what software is being used by a population, or just in use in general? Specifically design stuff, namely Adobe Creative Suite (and version), or whatever competing software (Corel? Quark? What?), and if there is any specificity to industry segments/niches that relates to such?

This is on my mind because over the past few weeks I've had multiple communications with multiple vendors that have made little to no sense to me, come to find out that they are using something totally surprising for software, or a version of CS that is from when I was in college still. Neither of which can handle certain "new" software features that are at least 6 years old.

Something kind of like this? :

Vector (Adobe Illustrator or similar)

CS6 — 30%

Creative Cloud — 30%

CS 5.5 — 20% 

CS 5 — 10%

CS 4 or ealier — 5%

Other — 5%

Obviously made up numbers by me, but this is the sort of thing I'd be interested to see. When I was in school, they had even stopped teaching Quark as it was (supposedly?) so far from the industry standard at that point already, but I recall some discussions mentioning that there might still be some large publishing houses or similar still using it, as doing a major software overhaul for large operations was quite costly and time intensive. After graduating I took a night class at a local school on Quark just so I could have it on my resume in case I ran into a place that might need me to use it. Haven't touched it since, not sure I've even encountered a mac with it installed in all those years. 

Anyone know more about this, or somewhere to dig around to find out? 

Signed and confused/curious, Laur
