Hello, my name is João Matias, I'm 37 years old, I´m from Lisbon (Ajuda) and a Graphic Design Lover since, ever.

Welcome!

Though, the main contact was when I've got in touch with some Design gabinets, Offset Printers and Ateliers, it was the year 1993 and I was distributing graphic materials.

Then, I went to a Graphic Design and

this is freaky pixel

Multimedia Professional Course that gave me the knowledge and understanding on materials,

e-magazine

production tricks and computer skills.

I'm working with Adobe creative packs since the beginning and also with FreeHand, well, I've to admit, I don't use it anymore (Adobe kill it!)

I've been doing advertisement, in magazines and even some TV commercials (2) were I've done the storyboards and also the scripts, but, I love working with paper.

Visual and corporate identity, flyers, illustration, brochures and editorial design (my trully love) I just hope that the fun you’ll have in viewing this e-magazine is the same that I’ve had when I was doing some of this special projects you're about to see.

Cheers!

all the vibrating news on location The effort that the daily dragon team puts every day of the festival, working over night, making 80km to go print more than 15.000 copies of the newspaper and also distributing it in the most popular spots around the festival venue, it's well compensated by the 25.000 boomers that everyday read about the festival fresh news and get to know the schedule of the DJs, live acts, concerts, workshops, talk shows and even movies at their own cinema.

The Official PlayStation Magazine is well known all over the world. The Official Portugal Edition was, until 2007, a copy/paste of the British version with the texts translated. Goody Publishers gave me challenge to make the brand new layout.

But this time, Sony Entertainment only gave the feedback that, by the way, was excellent!
