Announcing the Launch of Vandelay Premier, Exclusive Resources for Designers

Through this blog we have always been committed to providing our readers with fresh, helpful, and inspiring content. Today we are excited to announce that Vandelay Design is extending beyond the blog and is now bring high-quality resources to web and graphic designers! We’ve launched Vandelay Premier, which is a membership-based community, in effort to provide designers with resources to make their lives easier, their work more effective, and their business and careers more successful.

There are a lot of marketplaces, membership-based communities, and stock sites where designers can purchase resources. We see value in this variety, and we think Vandelay Premier is different from the others in a few key ways:

• Career resources in addition to design resources. In effort to help our members achieve greater levels of success in their careers as designers, we provide informational resources (like interviews, short e-books, and special reports) that cover various topics relevant to designers and freelancers.
• Extended license. Our design resources come with an extend license that allows mutiple uses on personal and commercial projects, including use in themes, templates, and other resources that will be distributed in mass. Extended licenses can get very costly with most resources, but with Vandelay Premier there is no additional fee.
• Marketplace with exclusive discounts. We have partnered with a number of companies that provide products and services for designers, and we’ve negotiated discounted rates for our members. More info on these partner companies in a minute.
• Low price. Members get unlimited access to our design resources, career resources, and marketplace for just $9 per month. Or if you would like to save a little bit of money there is an option of $79 annually. You can sign up here.
