Hi, my name is Jason, I live in Minneapolis, and I make pretty websites.
Design72 is the creative love child of design and development by Minneapolis based web-nerd Jason Reed (that's me). Hi, hello, and salutations! Now that introductions are out of the way lets move along shall we?
Normal about sections are always so bland and boring. Blah blah blah blah blah, hire me, blah blah blah. Enough of it, no one wants to hear that crap. Instead, I'm going to tell you a wonderful story about a magical loaf of bread.
So there once was this magical loaf of bread named Jason (no relation, just ironic). Jason had all these mad crazy web skills that he learned while getting his Bachelors Degree in Web Design & Interactive Media at The Art Institutes International Minnesota. He loved what he did and couldn't wait until he could use his newly found super powers of XHTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP for the good of the public.
Graduation day came and it was soon after that Jason was offered to share his amazing talents with the Minneapolis based design firm TST Media. Hurray! Everything was looking good for Jason, how happy he was! (But of course he is always looking for freelance jobs to keep his new super powers in pristine shape.)
The End.
So what was so magical about that you ask? Well for starters, a loaf of bread that knows how to properly formulate semantic XHTML and CSS markup seems pretty magical to me. How many food groups do you know that could do that?
I rest my case.
