The first full week of January is a wrap, and has delivered some wonderful web content our way. That’s right. It has been another amazing week in the design community. Here are the articles that really made an impression on us this past week.
By the way, we usually do a mini-rundown of what to expect on Arbenting this coming week, but after two weeks in a row of having to substitute different articles out for different reasons, we have decided to let that practice fall by the wayside. So have a great week, and don't forget to check back in!

@Graphic Design Blog — That’s a great article, unfortunately it wasn’t published in the last week so it didn’t qualify. I’m subscribed to your blog though and watching for future features :)
@Marco — These past couple of weeks have been packed full of quality content. My theory is that it’s new years resolutions. I’m hoping it will keep going though :)
Really a great roundup this week guys! Lots of articles I missed, so enough chatting, time to read.
