The New Veer Ideas

Veer Ideas

Well it’s out. It’s been a long, hard slog and the work is far from done but I’m so happy to have it out. Since September of last year my team’s been working away at revamping the ideas section of Veer.com. We previously worked on features from all the other parts of Veer.com – from design to usability to functionality. This time we took a little detour – deviating from the previously mandated .net environment to a new Ruby on Rails platform. Booyah is all I’ve gotsta say.

We’ve included all the usual suspects – portfolios, profiles, interconnected-goodness and of course the Skinny – but what I’m really excited about is the focus on content with new sections like The Fat – and on continuing to explore the ideas that inspire us. Inspiration is all around us and sometimes we just need a moment to let it happen. I’m hoping the new ideas section will be a moment that allows creatives the room to feel inspired.

Enjoy our work at ideas.veer.com

Creativity Never Sleeps

Creativity never sleeps

Yes, it’s a little self-promoting to dwell on work-related stories, but I like this one. The idea the creativity never sleeps is a thread I see daily with friends and co-workers. The impetus to get up in the middle of the night to jot down ideas that have plagued us throughout the day to the all-nighter that allows us to follow through on the execution of a fully flushed idea. It’s in us all – designers and artists all the way through to engineers and the like. As long as there’s passion with all that we do, there will always be an opportunity to forego sleep for the realization of a dream.

Rian Hughes in NYC

Rian Hughes

Design-wunderkind Rian Hughes is set to bring a new level of English-ness to NYC this November with evening of tea, buscuits and a healthy dose of design talk at the ADC. Saying that Rian is prolific would be an understatement – numerous typfaces, design work and creative consulting describes a typical month in this creative tour de force’s life.

Taking a day out to chat with a few fine folks in NYC should be a sufficient breather for some rich discussion. Hosted by Veer, it should be a great time. Come on down and spend an evening with us.

[UPDATE] All in all the show was a great success. The ADC was filled to capacity and Rian gave a great talk even while fighting the flu. I hope that all who attended enjoyed themselves.
