This week in Veer: Lightboxing

Maybe you have heard of this before, I think it's gotten some coverage on VisualEditors and some other design blogs. If you haven't though, it's this design battle of sorts. Here's how they describe it:

"The rules are simple. Using only the images and type provided in a Veer lightbox, make something great. Crop. Cut. Paste. Fight dirty. Write copy. Make a knockout design. The voting public decides the winner. The prize? Bragging rights, and some sweet Veer swag."

This is a really interesting concept applicable to magazine and news design. Often, there is this confined set of tools, typefaces, images, etc... at our disposal and limitless ways to use them. This is a site for some inspiration and curiosity. Take a look.

  1. Victoria! This stuff is great. I am really excited to sit at home and sort through both Veer and the great one-page designs. When I have free time, that is....
