It was tough keeping this under wraps for so long, but the project I have been working on for the past six months was finally released last week. The longer we worked on it, the more impatient we became about letting everyone in on the story. A handful of people probably managed to pick up … More

I’ve always thought it rather interesting that the term “skinned” can refer to the removal of something (as in “I skinned the neighbor’s cat.”) as well as the exchanging of one thing for another (as in “I just skinned my browser to look like a deathstar.”) As you may have noticed, the look and feel … More

Nearly a year after I intended to redesign my personal site for Spring 2006 CSS Reboot, I’ve started up again. What happened last time? Life, work, etc. What you see above (and here) is the latest incarnation of the design. For comparison purposes, here’s an early iteration of last year’s model. My standard high contrast … More

We’ve certainly been getting an earful about the latest Veer catalog since it started hitting mailboxes this week. And naturally, the feedback has been present at both the positive and the negative ends of the scale. One of the comments forwarded to me regarding the aforementioned catalog cover was as follows: “Is it just me, … More

The local shindig for agencies and other creative types to flaunt their design chops is the annual Ad Rodeo. The Veer team entered a few tasty gems into the awards event, just like we did when we were all still part of the EyeWire crew. We pulled off a couple of merit awards the last … More

I found the following statement running along the perforated fold on a rather formidable-looking bank draft. It read, and I quote: “This document is printed on Tonerfuse™ security paper with bleed through MICR and gothic numbering.” Whoa. I’m still deciphering what some of this means, but I’m pretty sure that this little old piece of … More
