Best of the Web #32

thumbHello again everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend and were able to enjoy a little rest.  Today it’s Monday, so for most of us, that means back to work or school, but it also means it’s time for another best of the web from last week!

Last week had a couple really awesome inspirational roundups and artist features (and not just the ones I posted).  Additionally, SixRevisions did a great blog design tutorial, and of course, Abduzeedo came through with another awesome case study, this one by the legendary Peter Jaworowski.  So be sure to check all these great posts out, and then check back tomorrow because I’m gonna keep bringing you some awesome posts.

Thanks everyone, have a great start to your week, and remember, inspiration is everywhere.

Stay tuned the rest of this week, as we might be changing the blog theme, and there might also be a giveaway at some point in the near future.

Thanks to all the dedicated readers out there!
