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. #About Me IRL 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! #Contact & Website Want to say hi or have any questions? I'd love to hear from you! [Visit my website Mattgyver.com](https://mattgyver.com) for more.

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).

Follow on Twitter for schedule updates and stream announcements or bonus streams.
