“We’re blown away by how many design awards we’ve received this year.” says Sheldon Popiel, Creative Director at Veer. “It’s nice to be recognized for producing some of the best creative work in the industry. We strive to produce the type of unique and compelling work that gets us, as designers, to sit up and take notice. These awards tell us that Veer’s pieces are resonating with our peers in the design community. Our team has a great synergy and it’s great to be honored for something that we enjoy doing so much.”

Veer Image Showcase Catalogs
The Veer Image Showcase series of catalogs reveals the depth of Veer’s royalty-free and rights-managed photography collections. Each book in the series explores four subject categories (for example, poodle, power skirt, junk food, and kiss from Image Showcase #1) via a selection of images from the Veer collection. The catalogs were printed on 100% recycled stock (with over 80% post consumer waste) and adhere to the rigorous Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification guidelines - the world’s strongest system for guiding forest management toward sustainable outcomes.
Veer’s Image Showcase Catalogs have been recognized by:
The Very Big Summer Activity Book for Creatives
The Very Big Summer Activity Book for Creatives is a 100-page, pocket-sized book packed with design-inspired crossword puzzles, word scrambles, and brain teasers created specifically for the Veer creative audience. The activity book features Veer’s photography, illustration and type products in a fun and engaging way, while offering creatives an enjoyable diversion and hours of entertainment over the summer months.
Veer’s Very Big Summer Activity Book for Creatives was recognized with an award of merit in HOW Magazine’s 2005 Self-Promotion Awards (direct-mail category).
Veer Visual Elements Catalog
Veer’s core direct-mail catalog offers new explorations of stock to inspire new creative possibilities. Each Veer Visual Elements Catalog features a new design or conceptual theme that resonates with creatives, with ever-changing image spreads rather than cookie-cutter grids, and type showings that display a wide range of fonts to their best advantage.
The May 2004, November 2004, and March 2005 issues of the Veer Visual Elements Catalog were each recognized with awards in the 2005 American Graphic Design Awards (catalog design category).
