Veer becomes first visual elements reseller to distribute notable illustration collection

Calgary, Alberta, October 15, 2002 - Veer, a provider of unique visual elements and design-related products and services, today announced it will be the exclusive reseller of royalty-free illustrations from CSA Images. The agreement brings one of the industry’s most original collections of images to professional creatives.

Inspired by the highs and lows of art and printed culture, the CSA Images royalty-free illustrations represent an eclectic mix of striking visuals. These inventive images embody a range of aesthetics - minimalist modern to vernacular baroque, visual pop culture reflected in the tactile look of ink on paper - including original illustrations and icon-quality elements. A separate stock art affiliate of the renowned Charles S. Anderson Design Company, CSA Images is one of the most highly honored independent creators of stock art in existence, winning numerous prestigious awards from such industry publications as Communication Arts, International Design (ID) and many more.

Veer takes great care in its product selection; focusing on collections of distinct quality and originality that creatives demand. The illustrations from CSA Images contribute to Veer’s strategy of bringing exclusive collections and world premieres to those producing visual communications.

“Veer strives to bring its customers the most discerning visual elements, and this partnership allows us to provide creatives with even more original, distinctive, and relevant imagery,” said Brock Bohonos, one of the founding partners of Veer. “The CSA Images agreement underscores our commitment to delivering exclusive, compelling products to our customers.”

“We are the customer,” said Charles S. Anderson, President of Charles S. Anderson Design Company. “In the course of our design work, which includes identity, packaging, and products for clients across the globe, we noticed an almost complete lack of interesting, out-of-the-ordinary stock art. So, we decided to create collections of images that we would use in our own design projects. We’ve found Veer is one of the few stock companies that truly exhibits a high degree of respect for designers and for the creative process itself.”

Veer offers its customers 55 royalty-free CSA Images CDs, ranging in price from US$99 to $349. Individual images are available from the Veer web site, veer.com, and range in price from US$39 to $179.

About CSA Images

Created in 1995, CSA Images is the separate stock art affiliate of Charles S. Anderson Design Company. With the aim to not only break new ground, but to shatter the status quo, CSA Images delivers an eclectic mix of imagery. The unique collection was born out of a need for interesting, out-of-the-ordinary stock art for the company’s design work. Unable to find such visuals, the company of illustrators, art directors, and photographers created a collection of fresh, compelling images inspired by the highs and lows of art and printed culture. The CSA Images rights-protected and royalty-free collections consist of original illustrations, art-worthy photos, icon-quality elements and scores of images that may be defined as a combination of all three. Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the company has been recognized by many national and international awards.
