the blog and design portfolio of Jason Gurley. (Learn more.) This site has been around since 1998; me, since 1978. Three years ago I drove 3,000 miles to see a movie. This is the year of meetings. Which means I'm taking an awful lot of meeting notes.

I've been a web designer since 1998. In the ensuing ten years I have worked in that capacity for an arctic ISP, a small-market advertising agency, a boutique design firm, a nefarious taskmaster, an obsolete-but-oblivious development shop, and myself. At present I'm an art director for Web Associates, an interactive agency in San Luis Obispo, California, where I have worked since 2006. Here are some of the projects that I have worked on during that time. HP Upline BlackBerry Curve BlackBerry Pearl BlackBerry.com Freelance work Cassini discovers organic material on Enceladus. // Word on the street is that Dubai is nuts. // You'd think that a video like this would be awe-inspiring all on its own. Tell that to whoever added the stock wonderment musical score. // American passenger jets now being outfitted with anti-missile devices. "Officials emphasize that no missiles will be test-fired at the planes." // Does atheism equal irresponsible parenting? State of New Jersey challenges adoptive parents' right to their adopted child due to their (lack of) religious belief. // Unbelievable single-car accident. // Insomnia, begone. // Fairly predictable and run-of-the-mill promo for Kathleen's upcoming album, but hey, you take what you can get.
