We do like our lists here at Arbent, and we think that many of you out there will like this one as well. Designers are always looking for fresh and exciting resources to help build a bountiful cache from which to pull, and when I say designers, I mean us here at Arbenting. But if you are like us, then you’ll definitely want to check out these seven standout blogs that are packed full of resources such as tutorials, photoshop brushes, wallpapers, and so, SO much more!

1. BittBox

If you don’t know about BittBox, then you don’t know Bitt! (No, I went for it. I’m a sucker for wordplay. Sorry.) On a more serious note though, get your cyber-ass to the Box immediately. A vast array of helpful resources and amazingly original downloads are waiting. No joke here, they’ve got the such a stylish selection of useful tools for free that any designer who passes them by, is completely missing out.

2. Web Resources Depot

Web Resources Depot has free web resources daily! If the site itself weren’t an amazing collection of useful information and resources, that coupled with an outstanding sleek and savvy design, then the free resources would be all we have to mention about this fantastic site. However, there’s so much more than the freebies going on here, so more needed to be said. Go check out what the fuss is all about, and grab some free goodies while you’re at it!

3. Abduzeedo

Abducted by design, indeed! Abduzeedo is an abundantly useful and beautiful website filled with tons of talented tutorials, interesting interviews, and wonderful wallpapers! A stunningly succinct layout adds to the overall accessibility and sharp tone of this dazzling design site. An Arbenting favorite for inspiring work and so much more!

4. Design Reviver

Design Reviver is another easy addition to the list for so many reasons. One of which is the elegant site structure itself is welcoming and attractive, so spending time there is easy to do. And you will be spending a lot of time there once you’ve discovered it’s many helpful tutorials and all of the fabulous freebies at your fingertips (a few of the sites other alluring charms). Well, don’t just take our word for it, go see for yourself.

5. Specky Boy

We wouldn’t feel right here at Arbenting if we compiled a list of powerful resource blogs to alert designers too, and neglected to include Specky Boy! This magnificent monument of resource blogging is geek chic and overloaded with constructive content. Chances are, if there’s a resource you need, this Boy’s got it.

6. Sharebrain

The best resource for webworkers, is their tag, and you won’t find any arguments here. Sharebrain is easily one of the best collective resource sites out there. Having just discovered this site ourselves, we are still making our way through the numerous beneficial tools and offerings they have, but we needed to make others aware of this design goldmine. Each time we visit this site we’re like kids in a candy shop, all wide-eyed and mad dashing from area to area, and we figure you will be too.

7 You The Designer

And last, but certainly not least, we have You The Designer. Another great site that has quite an expansive and ever-growing assemblage of useful design resources. Not to mention they tirelessly gather and post topical and current news from the world of design to help keep the entire community in the loop. Give a visit to this standout blog and see what we mean, you won’t be disappointed.

So that’s seven that we feel need to be known, but we know there are more. So let us know which ones you’d add to the list.
