This channel is here to help you learn about design and technology! I've worked for many years as a designer and now work as a technology researcher. I spend my time looking for interesting things to show you that you'll hopefully gain a lot of value learning about. Some of my favorite topics are those that focus on granting people new opportunities provided by emerging technologies!
I also have a ton of design content, including Photoshop tutorials and Illustrator tutorials. While I no longer focus on this, hopefully if you're looking to learn how to make something new in one of those programs, they can be helpful. :) Thanks for checking out my channel, and be sure to subscribe to stay up-to-date.

my illustrator used to do it, but I just recently had to delete and reinstall, now it won't do it any longer. is there a setting in preferences that needs to be turned on or off? please help. I lived and died by that feature.
Matt, you were upfront about Uplift sending you the desk. I only wish you had said whether (or how much) that may have influenced you. I guess it might be hard to be objective about that, but people are naturally going to wonder. Did the company give you any review guidelines/restrictions/instructions as a prerequisite for receiving that? I noticed you said to someone else that it wasn't a paid review, but, I mean, you got a _desk._ I'm open-minded, and I know it's still possible to be objective; just saying.
I was as objective as I was able to be. These things will always influence someone's view, so it's just a matter of how much. Years later I'm still using the desk, and independently paid for a larger top. I've had no issues with it.
@@MattBorchert That's fair, and you're correct, it's a matter of how _much_ you were influenced. That's what viewers don't know, and without it, we can't get a reasonable impression. As a consumer yourself, I'm sure you understand that. It's easy to believe you were as objective as you were _able_ to be, but I don't know what might be "disabling" you, so to speak, 😏whether a sense of obligation for the gift, or instructions/guidelines from the company. Having said that, I thought the review was well done, and believable. I have nothing against Uplift, and I'm strongly considering this desk. I'm just a careful consumer, and wary of a company's marketing practices, such as gifting review items. Frankly, I think the world would be far better off if its inhabitants were less credulous and more skeptical of unknown claims on all manner of topics, but I'll spare you. This isn't the place for that speech. Thank you.
I could swear I responded to this, but I guess not! So I don't remember messing with the actual smooth tool settings much, but it does care a whole lot about how long your smooth path is when drawing it out. So try using it over shorter sections, or longer sections if that doesn't work. Usually smaller sections tended to work better for me, unless I was trying to smooth out really long curves.
Matt I just read that you now research technology… pretty awesome. Wondering, will you be touching upon Artificial Intelligence and how they may help generate new ideas in design?
I'm considering relaunching my channel soon, and that's likely something I'll talk about. Thus far I consider most AI based design to be pretty "lifeless," but it's clearly very compelling.
Hello Matt, I have tried numerous times in inches and it does not work, but it does work in pixels. Is there way to do it in inches and have the same effect.
Have you tried USB audio player pro and the morphit plugin. It can make headphone you listening to sound like another headphone... I like the Sundara morphed to the Sennheiser HD800S... sounds great.
I have not, but it sounds like it's just EQ'ing the headphones. You can definitely dramatically alter the sound via EQ, although some headphones take EQ much better than others.
