Freddy the freelancer had been out of his home office all day. Nothing in particular on the schedule so he had taken some time to hit the streets seeking out genius designs of Halloween decorations. Owing to the fact that he was his own boss, Freddy had slept in that day, and his walk was dragging him around until after sundown. The hungry Halloweeners rushed out from all directions on a mission of candy collection. It was after coming across an excessively insistent group of ghouls that ridiculed his accidental …

…for a day. Angie has gotten a really bad bug that has kept her out of commission all day. As a result, we are postponing the next Inspiration in Color piece until Saturday. We will have another post for later on today, but not the expected one. Sorry for the delays, but we promise to back on track in a day. Thanks for the support!

The team at Arbenting is back with another installment of the Wednesday Weekly Spotlight to inject a bit of inspiration into your mid-week humdrum.

After a couple months of planning, a month and a half of developing and testing, and a couple of anxious days doing some final tweaks, our Directory for Designers is running live! This social media networking hub will hopefully act to consolidate designer information from the various places we gather online and make it easier to find and follow the community through the maze of media networks.

That’s right. Arbenting now has a Community News section of the blog, so that users can help spread whatever words they’ve got to offer.

It can be found on the lower right sidebar of the blog. We hope that everyone in the community will take an extra moment or two …

So while scouring the web and browsing the graphical wonders it so whimsically offers, we are constantly seeing some amazing and inspirational work. And occasionally, just occasionally, we come across those works that jump-start a sense of jealousy within us. The grand designs that grab hold of our senses and make them scream pleasurable tones at being graced with such an ever-crafty creation. Graphic design is a community rife with examples like these, but very rarely does a logo strike out from the sea of designs saying, “Behold! I am …

That’s right. Thank god it’s Monday! Well, actually, that’s a bit much, but you could certainly throw the Arbenting team a little gratitude, because we have more graphic goodies for you. We have a new Photoshop brush pack that we put together for download, it’s a collection of what we like to call digital dandelions. They are a lot of fun already, as we keep thinking of imaginative incorporations we could make in upcoming projects using them. We hope that you like them as well, and will find them handy …

Once again we find ourselves at the culmination of another week, and we find the time for another Arbenting Best of the Week rundown. We tagged the cyberspace stops that we think you need to make from this week, and as we look back, we’ve got some hints for what’s ahead on the blog this week. We have put together yet another Photoshop Brush Pack for our Monday freebie, so that’s only a day a way. On Tuesday, we will have an article for the Design you Love contest from …
