Late last year, we conducted an online survey of Australian design students to capture their mood, their opinions and, most of all, their responses to a series of questions about the way they communicate, how they rate their course, and their take on design itself – both now and into the future.

The survey was open for one week. During that time we received 375 responses. From these Alex Tyers collected 44 pages of data and comments, which he painstakingly sifted through and crunched down into an article which was published in the September 2011 issue of desktop magazine.
