See I told you we would be doing the rundowns on Friday. And you thought we were just joshing you! Oh, wait. You didn’t? Well, the guy behind you did, so we were talking to him. But once again, we have compiled our favorite posts from the design community this week to present to all of those who may have missed them, or who would just like another opportunity to go through them. So dive in and swim through the best offerings we could find for you. As always, we …

We have a different kind of giveaway here at Arbenting today. Usually we give away items that will aid you as a designer such as business cards, vector packs, and freelancing software. But today we are going to be focusing on a different area of design, the Interior, by giving you a beautiful piece of design for your home.
One of our readers will win a Kartell Prince AHA Stool from All Modern in their choice of color. The stool also doubles as a beautiful corner or end table.

All Modern has …

So we have been reworking our schedule of posts here at the blog, which is why there was no weekly rundown this week. We are moving those posts to Fridays, though the timeslot is the only change that will be made to the post. The format we have built for it will remain, as we are admittedly fond of it. Sorry for not having one this week, but it will return.

We here at the blog are always looking for exciting ways to give back to our readers and show them how much we appreciate them sticking with us and making the site all it has become. So we were completely stoked when we were contacted by ArtBox7. ArtBox7 has generously donated 20 vector packs for us to give away to 20 lucky Arbenting readers. Being fans of the vects, we jumped at the chance to offer these amazing packs to all of you. Below is a bit about the generous …

Following our new series dedicated to designers, we wanted to delve into the developer’s side of the pool to take a quick and dirty look at a tool of the developing trade, Cascading Style Sheets or as it is more commonly known, CSS. This widely accepted standard for adding style to web documents, has simplified the overall formatting process for web developers since it came onto the scene. By moving a majority of the presentational attributes into a single style sheet and allowing for lighter HTML coding, CSS won over …

We once again have worked our way through another week, that even came complete with a family holiday over the weekend, and have arrived once more at time for our weekly round-up. As always, we have rundown through the design communities postedings from this past week to showcase those that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and wanted to share with our readers. We wanted to ensure that these brilliant bits from the week didn’t somehow slip under your radar. So take a moment to sift back through the offerings that were …

The design community is an active, vibrant collective that utilizes many tools to make sure they stay on top and ahead of the game. They keep a deep and varied assemblage of tools to make the most of their designs, and to make the most for their designs. Now what I mean by for their designs is this, designers understand the importance of having a presence on the interwebs to help in catapulting and growing the exposure for their work, and for obtaining new contacts for future work. So …

Once again, the week winds down and gives way to the next, as we here at Arbenting take a look back at the one we are leaving behind. The design community shone once more with some amazing contributions, and we have gathered them for a showcase for our readers to enjoy once more. It was an especially busy week for the online design community, especially in the new launch arena! Some really great launches arrived this week, and in case you missed them, get ready for a few hours lost …

Long Way Down (One Last Thing)
So this series has wound its way down to its final installment, bringing our look at both sides of the freelancing coin to an end. We are very pleased with the scope of the series, having grown into a six part post from its very humble beginnings. We hope that this in depth look at the freelancer’s life was both entertaining and a useful reminder as to why we do what we do. Most of us may not need the reminder, simply living the day …

The end of the week has fallen upon us once more, and another installment of our Arbenting weekly round-up has been filed. We have several wonderful contributions from the online design community to showcase this week, and even a handful of new site launches to mention that joined the ranks since we last talked about it. With spring blooming its way through towards summer, the design community offered several new foliage graphics showing signs that the season is taking hold on the creative minds. Can’t wait to see what kind …
