About me
Hey, I'm A.J. Matos, a graphic designer from Toronto, Canada. I specialize in crafting standout posters and visual identities for artists and events in the music industry.
Designing for me is like crafting a golden ticket – it's the key to capturing your audience's interest. I firmly believe that great design should do more than catch the eye; it should stir emotions, making people genuinely excited about attending your event or hitting play on your latest track. With over a decade of attending events, concerts, and festivals in the electronic music scene, I can easily tap into the mindset of the audience when conceptualizing visuals for both artists and events.
Beyond design, I'm a music producer and DJ. Regularly spinning tunes at events in Toronto, I've gained a deep understanding of both sides of the electronic music industry, both as an attendee and a performer. This unique perspective makes me the ideal choice to create posters and identities that resonate in the music world.
