Veer – Rights-Managed and Royalty Free Photography, Illustration and Type

About.com Rating 4

By Eric Miller, About.com

Veer is a high-end stock site offering quality images and typefaces through a clear, user-friendly website. Images are available from a large selection of stock providers, including Comstock, Photodisc and Digital Vision.

Photography

The Veer photography collection is high quality, modern and professional. Themed collections such as Baby Boomer Lifestyle, Mountain Ranging and Swanky Spenders are best for projects with a significant budget, as individual photos range from $159 to $519, on average. The right photo may well be worth the investment if budget allows, as Veer offers edgy, well-shot selections in many categories. The cost of the photo would still be less than setting up a professional shoot of your own. In some cases a “super low resolution” image is available for less money, suitable for the web.

Illustration

Veer offers a unique collection of high quality illustrations for all types of projects. Much of the illustration is rights-managed, with pricing available on a per-image basis for logged in members. Royalty-free illustration costs, on average, between $49 and $349, depending on the resolution. The collection is diverse, from retro black and white images to collage style artwork to cartoons. As with the photography, the right image may very well be worth the cost.

Type

Veer clearly appreciates the importance of typefaces in design by featuring them prominently in their navigation, alongside photography and illustration. Users can browse fonts for sale by style, collection, or “what’s hot.” Prices vary, but many typefaces are available for $49 to $100. Veer also offers “Flont,” an application that allows you to test their fonts (and others) before purchasing.
