It’s that time of year when Spoon Graphics gets a little older, with 2019 marking 12 years of tutorial creating, freebie sharing and article writing on what started as a blog that was attached to my portfolio website in 2007. Every April I take some time to reflect on the past 12 months and talk about how things have changed. Last year I talked about how my traffic stats were on a slow decline since the site's peak in 2012, so let's take a look at the latest figures and talk about what the future might hold for Spoon Graphics.

Overall traffic seems to have leveled off after a few big drops by 15-20% over recent years, with just a gradual decline of 2.7% this year. My top content remains the same, but the two have switched places since last year. My all-time high from 2014 remains unchallenged, but the most trafficked day in 2018-2019 was thanks to a small influx of people from Muzli Design Inspiration that tipped the 7th of May
above the daily average.

A lot has changed since I started Spoon Graphics in 2007! We have already seen big changes in the way people use the web since then, Instagram and Pinterest didn't even exist! I built Spoon Graphics by riding the social media wave, but these days simply posting on social media doesn't have the impact it once did. Huge traffic spikes from StumbleUpon or DIGG just aren't a thing anymore, and many similar design
blogs from the 'Golden Age of Blogging' no longer exist. It's always a worry what the future might hold for my little design blog, but I'm determined to adapt with the times!
