Dean Matthews | Leicester, NC | Asheville, NC

eCreate is the continuing graphic design odyssey of Dean Matthews. Matthews Multiprint

Matthews Multiprint was established by our patriarch, Jack Matthews, in 1954 in Hollywood, California. Jack marketed graphic design and printing for the burgeoning Hollywood entertainment industry of the 50's. Clients included the Screen Actor's Guild, Capitol Records, Republic Studios, the Hollywood Palladium, and many Actor's Agencies. I grew up in this environment, spending after school and vacation time learning the business. By high school age (Hollywood, class of '65) typography, layout and design skills were being used for school reports as well as to layout resumés for the likes of Tom Sellick and Regis Philbin.

eCreate is the continuing graphic design odyssey of Dean Matthews.

Being a typically rebellious son, however, I was determined to make my own way in the world. In college I studied architecture and won a design scholarship. I attended Art Center College of Design. Determined to be the next Frank Lloyd Wright I headed into the world of construction.

For twenty years I designed, drew plans, developed critical path schedules, and managed capital construction projects. But, I was always at my highest motivation when I was preparing presentations for clients, or doing audio-video for P.R., or preparing exhibits for sales conventions.

The advent of the personal computer gave me a new tool to develop presentations using spreadsheets and database. When the first Mac hit in 1984 and then the first laserprinter, and what you saw was what you got, the presentation aspect of what I did took a quantum leap. Suddenly my graphic, design and project management background, combined with this new technology, created a demand for presentations and graphics that exceeded everything else.

Then the Internet:
eMail ⇒ ePublishing ⇒ eCommerce ⇒ ePiphany ⇒ electronic Creativity ⇒ eCreate

Sweet irony. The rebellious pen & ink designer …is now a pixel designer.
The prodigal son has come home.
The Matthews Family circa 1948 Jack would be pleased.

And now, another generation of creative excellence has been added to eCreate:

James Matthews brings his experience in copy writing and photography.

A graduate of Xavier University, he has a degree in English, experience in journalism, photo-journalism and portrait, special event and product photography.

And if that's not enough, he's a Captain in the Civil Air Patrol with expert credentials in Search and Rescue.
