Welcome to my graphic design stream! Everything seen here is created in Adobe Illustrator and done in a tutorial fashion. If you're unsure on how to do any sort of graphic design thing please ask! Critique, suggestions, and back-seat designing are always welcome.
I'm a UI designer, illustrator, front-end markup/CSS developer guy, and photographer. This stream is a way to connect, practice, share, and improve — and spread the love of the Oxford comma. Do something to better yourself every day!
Want to say hi or have any questions? I'd love to hear from you! Visit my website Mattgyver.com for more.
Check out the store for stickers and more. You'll feel good for helping the stream 😊 Most things seen on the stream wind up in one of my storefronts.
Requests: If you see something you'd like as a shirt/sticker/whatever, let Matt know and it can usually be made available.
Enjoying the stream or learned something new? Want to help the doggos with new treats and tricks? Say thanks with a tip :D — it's much appreciated! ❤️ 🐺 Please keep in mind tips are non-refundable.
Be respectful, that's really the only rule–be excellent to each other. We typically avoid political and religious topics.
Feedback and critique is encouraged and always welcome here. Collaboration and the ability to give & receive feedback is an important skill. Suggestions help refine ideas and give everyone a chance to see why some ideas work while others might not (and I truly don't mind exploring and explaining).

There simply aren't enough graphic designers on Twitch, so here's a running list of those I know of. Definitely worth a peep and give them a follow if you like what you see.
