Hello my name is Elliot Matson. I am currently pursuing a BS in Graphic Design at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Apart from Graphic Design, I enjoy bicycling (the above photo was taken in Duluth, MN while biking to Ontario, Canada), playing music, watching The Simpsons, and going on the occasional adventure. This website is devoted to the work I have produced in and outside of the classroom, and for you to get to know me a little better. I hope you enjoy looking through my portfolio.
