Fellow blogger/roommate Christy has opened my eyes to the best website ever.  Veer.com.

Here is their about us:

See things in a new light. Hint at potential. Invent contexts. Create concepts.

It’s what you do as a creative. It’s our goal at Veer, too.

We want to help you break out of the grid, the list, the rulebook. To show you visual elements for design in ways that work. To filter out the obvious and the mundane, in our products and our presentation. To help you do the best creative work possible.

Enjoy.

Veer caters to the maniacal mind that is aroused by even the simplest typography; for those that get high off the design elements of color, layout, size, weight of words. Anything the eyes can drink up. There is nothing like getting yourself drunk off of thoughts, words, even simple letters. Aesthetics at their finest. 

Here is a compilation of some of my favorites from the website, which I have been drooling over for upwards of an hour. Veer's different tabs surf you through illustrations, photographs, merchandise, type and more. So, I shall give you some of my favorites from each. Deal with it, there will be a lot.

This is definitely going down as a number fifteen. Things I love: veer. 

favorite merchandise:

For those that ponder: do we love, or hate, Helvetica? 

All the different ways to type. 

All the different ways to drink your coffee.

(Black, please.)

Coasters. Need. These. Coasters.

Sexy.

favorite type:

Futuristic and fun.

Mod.

Funky fresh. Yes, I just said funky fresh.

Sass.

Sensual.

Absolutely super fabulous lettering.

Parisian night affair. Mmmm.

Classic.

Reminds me of a fairy tale. 

The most beautiful part about the english language is that there are so many different ways to express yourself. So many words can express the same sentiment; each feeling can be described in a million different ways. So, why not match the wonder of the word with equally spontaneous type? Now it's fun to speak, but also fun to type.

favorite pictures:

(Quick preface to these pictures: the website has several galleries that are themed. These as you will see below are from the gallery love.)

When everything else around you dissolves into the background, and there's just the two of you.

Adorable.

.

At every age.

Le sigh.

Books. Love. Perfection.

Doing the small things together, like grocery shopping, because even the everyday chores are more fun when done with the person you love.

I love this one.

Secretive.

Sometimes ya just can't wait.

And this brings the conclusion to my Veer rant, but I highly suggest checking it out. I'll add more as it comes.
