Italian photographer, Diego Cervo transformed his love for photography into a career in two years, and he keeps gaining momentum. With strong concepts and an innate ability to cover the gamut thematically, his expansive collection continues to grow---from travel to business to day-to-day images. 

Diego meticulously covers the details. He has a vision from pre-production, ensuring his final product delivers. We're excited to feature a variety of his work along with some seasonal picks for your back-to-school projects.

See Diego's work on Veer.

This month on The Skinny, we're excited to feature an illustrator, Li Tzu Chien. He creates delightful vector backgrounds that feature a variety of colorful and whimsical characters.

Li Tzu Chien began creating his staple patterns and cartoon-style illustrations while making backgrounds and doing web design work as a student of design in Taiwan.

He's always enjoyed creating playful animal and human vectors, and hopes his work will save designers time. Li Tzu Chien's art definitely adds an endearing and creative element to any design project.

Introducing Ryan Jorgensen (Jorgo), this month's featured contributor on The Skinny. Jorgensen recognized photography as his true calling in 2006 while working as a graphic designer for an advertising agency. He began to pursue photography full time when it become evident that his uncanny vision and powerful inspiration would pave the way to a promising career.

Jorgensen explores the macabre side of photography, revealing the mysteries that lie in the hidden corners of our minds. Inspired by historic events, vintage portraits, fantasy, and mysteries, his work is a unique juxtaposition of horror and beauty.

It's rare to find such stunning photography that stimulates the imagination and calls on conflicting emotions-love, anger, humor, curiosity, and despair. Within each of his images is a story-one we're excited to welcome to Veer.

Featured Contributor Johan Swanepoel

 

We're proud to announce that Johan Swanepoel is this month's Featured

Contributor. Hailing from South Africa with a background in engineering and

construction management, Swanepoel pursued his passion for photography as 

young man in the era of manual cameras and darkrooms.

We love his intimate wildlife photographs-powerful additions to the Veer library.

While he claims to value modern digital equipment and techniques, when asked if

he is a wildlife photography "purist" - Swanepoel says: 

"No, cropping, healing, cloning, composites, etc., are part of the tools in order to

create the image I have in mind. The final goal will mostly dictate the rules. When

looking casually at images, I rarely question the processes involved, but rather

appreciate the message or beauty of the subject."

Pantone Easter eggs

Pantone Easter eggs

This is a seasonal decoration that only a designer could conceive (or create so flawlessly): Easter eggs that look like Pantone color swatches. The best part is that they're surprisingly simple to make - designer Jessica Jones includes DIY instructions on her blog. A new spring tradition.
