CALGARY (February 23, 2009) – Veer, a producer and provider of visual elements and design-related products, today launched Veer® Marketplace, a new low-priced image resource on veer.com.

With the addition of Veer Marketplace, Veer becomes the first major provider to offer both user-generated images (“microstock”), and traditional professional stock images on one web site. Veer customers are now able to license rights-managed, premium royalty-free, and low-priced royalty-free photography in one place.

Veer Marketplace features over 125,000 low-priced images for purchase individually. In mid-2009, a much larger selection of images will be available, along with credit-based pricing, subscription purchase programs, and advanced upload capabilities for image contributors.

“Veer customers appreciate our filtered approach to photography, illustration, and type, and our clean, simple interface,” said Issa Breibish, Director of Worldwide Community for Veer. “Veer Marketplace gives our customers the low-priced images they’ve been asking for, with the same quality-oriented philosophy, and through the same easy-to-use web site. We’re thrilled that Veer can now help designers succeed on projects for even their most budget-conscious clients.”

Veer has attracted a loyal creative audience through a design-savvy approach to visual elements, engaging web features and community pages, and inspiring catalogs and marketing pieces. Veer Marketplace extends Veer as a one-stop resource for discriminating designers and image buyers.

Veer invites customers and contributors to join in the discussions about Veer Marketplace. Simply register on the Veer Ideas site, in order to participate. Potential contributors may obtain more information about the submission process through submissions.veer.com.
