About Me ( Jorge Luis Gurrola )
I like to draw, I like to think and I like to create. I've been working as a Web Developer for about 2 years now, it never gets old, it just gets better... I like design, it is my passion, i like coding it is my drive and I love "tortas" with guacamole, they just taste great!
I'm a Web Developer and these are my languages XHTML, CSS, DOM, JavaScript, PHP & MySQL and these are my tools Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, IE7, Mozilla, NotePad and the GIMP.

My Experiments
Browser Hacks. In this experiment I was trying to solve a problem I was having with IE6, soon I discovered that HACKS (while look down upon) are very useful plus I had some fun with PNG's transparency.

Typography. For this experiment I looked toward the experts to see what was making them stand out. Typography! So suttle yet powerful.

Colophon
Design & Markup. This site was designed in Photoshop with the logo in Illustrator, and built using a delicious blend of XHTML and CSS for a validating XHTML 1.0 Strict flavor. No pixels were harmed using Dreamweaver 8.
Typography. For headings, Arial at 1.8em, with a nice leading of 1em, kerning at -1px and everything else normal. On the body copy sticking with Arial but at 1.1em, with an even nicer leading at 1.4em and with everything else normal.
