Does anyone know the percentage of Shutterstock downloads that are illustrations or vectors? Every week I get Shutterstocks Trend Report that shows the top 12 images downloaded during the week. Every week it seems to be dominated by illustrations. This week 10 out of the top 12 are illustrations or vectors. Only 2 photos.

Last year Shutterstock said that a total of 39% of downloads were illustrations (29%) or vectors (10%). Does anyone think that percentage has increased?

Where do you get this weekly trend report, I'd like to sign up?

(I don't know the answer to your question, I only know my illustrations sell better than my photos. It's not because I'm a crappy photographer though; I'm a crappy illustrator as well. But I don't think you asked for personal opinions, but straight facts.)

I think if you sign up as a buyer you get the trend report. I get it too.

Not if you look at my numbers, but I assume there are a lot more illustrations on the site every year as it becomes a more competitive medium. They seem less picky about what they accept still though. That may change at some point.

That's a good question...
By the way when you say illustrations (29%) are these bitmap or vectors also?

I don't know the answer.

But in my case the number of dowloads per image ratio is like:
Vectors > Photos & Bitmap Illustrations > Videos.

So I wish I could produce more vectors but it is more time consuming than the others and boring for me.
