Arbenting’s Best of the Week (11/30 – 12/06)

11 Comments

Upcoming at Arbenting

December seems to be dashing for the new year without stall, and another week has flown the collective coop. Once more we have rounded up the best the design blogosphere has thrown at us this week, at least all of those we were able to catch! We also thought we would let you know about all that we are tossing into the mix next week. Our Arbenting Monday Freebie this week will be the next installment of our grunge corners and edges, and on Tuesday we have an article talking about the importance of good copy. Wednesday will see the final part of our Wednesday Weekly Spotlight as we will be devoting future hump-days for our new Wednesday Web of Inspiration posts. Friday we will present the user submitted showcase from our Inspiration in Color series from the entries to the flickr group we set up in the beginning of the series. So get yours in before Friday if you want to be featured.
