CG Search Trends

• I found some interesting trends I got when I compared three different search phrases in Google Trends. Here is a snapshot.

This is what I assume out of it:

• Computer Graphics was a sought after topic way before 2004, but it has been gradually decreasing
• Vector art has been shown stable interest for around three years
• The term "digital painting" is a more recent terminology

Since Google does not provide actual search volumes, we can deduce quite a bit observing the trends.

This should be some food for thought. :) Have you done any such 'trend analysis'?
