Behold, a gallery where Venetian bridges dream,
Four arches drawn with reverent hand and eye—
From Rialto’s crown to Calatrava’s gleam,
Each print doth speak where stone and soul ally.
Let timber whisper, let Istrian stone sing,
Let glass and steel in moonlight gently bend.
These posters bear the weight of time’s own wing,
And bid thy walls with Venice’s grace befriend.

Data Visualization in Illustrator
A collection of tips and process notes when working on data visualizations in Illustrator. I’ve included links to resources and public data sets (and other goodies) to inspire and help you get your very own data viz project off the ground.
Come watch Adobe Illustrator and graphic design projects streamed live every weekend at Twitch.tv/MattgyverTV. The show is presented in a tutorial fashion with a variety of personal and commissioned projects, and largely covers graphic design techniques, experimentation, and the business side of things… we also listen to a lot of electro swing.
Saturday Morning 7am-10am (East Coast)
Sunday Morning 7am-10am
Chat interaction, feedback, critique, and sharing your work is encouraged and always welcome. We all become better designers when we can learn from each other. Collaboration and the ability to give & receive feedback is an important skill of any creative, and these 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).
Missed a live show? All the past videos are saved in the ever vanishing video archive (Twitch is running out of space, so they don’t store a lot of full vids anymore).
Some of the design work and goofy nonsense from the Twitch stream winds up on shirts, prints, and more. If there was a design you saw on stream and would like as a shirt graphic (or notebook, poster, art print, shower curtain, etc.), contact Matt for requests and he’ll set it up for purchase and let you know once it’s available.

Coach Colwyn has chosen you to be on his athletic team to help defeat the Beast and his army of Slayers using the legendary weapon known as the Glaive; which is not a kind of spear as history books would have you believe. This Glaive is sort of a throwing star boomerang thing. It's weird, and badass. You definitely want to be on this team.

Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre or ghost? If the answer is "yes," then don't wait another minute. Pick up the phone and call the professionals... The Inspectres; a small paranormal team based in Shepherdstown WV.
Long story short, we were all sharing interesting ice breakers for a new person at work, when one of our designers mentioned that he and his wife do paranormal investigations on the weekends. “How long have you worked here and never told us this? You need to tell us more right now!“

Note: Not everything makes it into the store, or does but isn’t available for long. Some designs are fan art and therefore skirt the fine line of parody & protected intellectual property rights, and as such may not be around for long. Like the ‘great Ghibli purge’ or the ‘That kaiju clearly isn’t Godzilla, though the lawyers say it is...’ Que sera, sera. 🤷🏻♂️
