Another humpday rolls through, and to further inspiration’s flame to help it carry you through the rest of the week, we have another installment of our Wednesday Web of Inspiration. Previously on our Wednesday Web, Andrew of Additive Designs stopped by and sung high praise of our inspiration posts, and then commented on the lack of typography focused ones. Obviously knowing us well enough to know that flattery will get you everywhere with us, this week we bring you a Large Typography based Wednesday Web of Inspiration.

Download Kaleidoscope Photoshop Brush Pack 2
10 High Resolution Photoshop Brushes Included

This week for our freebie, we are doing something a little different than usual. You see we had this idea to do kind of a design blog crossover with Arbenting and Dead Wings. Kind of like Buffy and Angel used to do when they were both on the air…what? We’re Whedonites on these sites. So we have an unusual special Freebie Monday treat for the design community in the way of a double release. We have the Kaleidoscope Photoshop Brush …

So on and on we go. 2008 has finally moved into the realm of the past and 2009 has just enthusiastically underway. We have a very large weekly rundown this week as there were so many great communal contributions throughout it’s course. With all of the yearly and montly wrap-ups that we found to feature from 2008, it make take the full run of 09 for you to finish reading them all! Just kidding, they are not that long…maybe. For next week on Arbenting, we have a Photoshop …

So something new we are doing here at Arbenting, is making desktop wallpapers for each month of 09. They will have both a release with a calendar for the month on there and one without the calendar. Just for clarification, this is not a new year’s resolution, just something new we are doing this year. We want to make the distinction due to the high number of resolutions spouted for the new year that never see the second month of the year. Like new year’s eve 1999, when my new …

Not sure if you have heard about this latest trend in the blogging and overall online data management systems, but there is this framework called ‘WordPress’ that we believe is going to be big. Like huge. In fact, we will go out on a limb and say that ‘09 is going to be the year this little guy takes off. Okay, so we are a bit behind on this one, but to be fair, we didn’t actually have a blog back when WordPress came out, so we never got to …

No, not like Jack Bauer dark. We haven’t dropped off the grid or anything like that. We have just branched out. Kind of like a spin-off. Dead Wings Designs is Arbenting’s latest launch, which is what we are calling our darkside of design.
Dead Wings is a more print design focused project, that we started developing in December, with a push towards snowboard designs. We have a lot planned for the site and hope that anyone interested will give it a gander and see what we are up to. Feedback …

It’s been said that pictures speak a thousand words, and if that is true, then photographers are the writers who breathe life into those words. Weaving tales with the imagination through images captured by these talented visual wordsmiths, displaying these powerful, emotive scenes for all to see. In this week’s chapter of the Wednesday Web of Inspiration we focus our attention on one of these magnificent crafters of these frozen moments.
life-wont-wait on deviant is the subject of this inspirational showcase, and a personal favorite of mine since first discovering this …

And so the trilogy comes full circle as a new Freelancer’s costs article climbs from the creative depths striking out at the empire…no wait the empire was Star Wars. This, is the Return of the Red-Eye, not Jedi. The sleep deprived freelancer’s eyes are fixed on the screen once more in the early morning hours as the deadline looms, gets pushed back, lingers around the corner for a bit, then again with the looming, on the article that begs to be written. Ah, the deadline, a freelancer’s nemesis.

We had some …
