SweetTalk is an informal presentation series featuring some of the world’s most interesting creatives. It showcases the talented stars of SweetTalk NYC, which was presented by Candy magazine and Veer.
I was discussing these videos last night with a friend and remembered just how good they are! The designers featured are Michael Place, Glen Friedman & Michael Gillette.
Michael Gillette shows off some of his work and briefly details his past, it’s interesting and again some really interesting stuff on show, he talk about his beginnings & how he came to move over to the states.
Glen Friedman is a photographer, his motivation & commitment alone is inspirational. He talks at length about how his surroundings; music, politics, skateboarding etc influence(d) what he does.
Place is a british graphic designer & swiss typography/Helvetica nut he’s very talented, witty and has a lot of interesting self-initiated projects. In the talk he details his creative process and what makes him tick, as a graphic designer myself this was probably the video i related to the most… All of these vids are worth a watch, these clips aren’t exactly new but the content is timeless!
Also…
If your into Veers (fantastic) free stuff or you enjoyed these podcasts then I would recommend you check out their free catalogues. They are used a sampler for their new typefaces / stock photography but more than that they are really nice pieces of design and there is an extensive back-catalogue to boot!
On a side note if your going to subscribe to these podcasts I would use the RSS as the automatic updates in iTunes seems to be broken. – as per the comments, Grant from Veer has given me the heads up that the iTunes issue has now been fixed! Subscribe to the iTunes feed today!

Hi George.
I just checked our iTunes link on the main SweetTalk page and subscribing seems to be working fine. Can you let me know what kind of trouble you had? I’d like to get it fixed if it’s something we can duplicate.
Thanks.

Hi Grant,
The iTunes link is fine & it does subscribe however when you download the M. Place video it seems to re-download the M. Gillette video? Any ideas?
Also thanks for reading!
Cheers

There was a problem with the feed several weeks ago, where the Gillette video had been duplicated in the Place slot. That was corrected and the iTunes feed refreshed itself. Perhaps try unsubscribing and reloading the iTunes link. It’s kind of odd, actually.

I stand corrected, thanks for the update Grant! I’ll amend the post with the new info.
Thanks for the feedback.
Don’t suppose you fancy giving us the heads up on any similar content we can expect from veer in the near future?

There will be another edition of SweetTalk up within the next few weeks … I’m afraid I can’t give you a more specific date than that. In the meantime, we do post site-related updates and Veer news to our blog … maybe just grab the feed there.
