Pixels & code #27 – Web Design weekly links not to miss by Stéphanie Walter

This content is 10 years old. Remember that the following content might be outdated.

Every week I post a lot of my daily readings about Web, UI and UX Design, HTML and CSS, webdesign tools and ressources and inspiration on twitter and other social networks. I decided to put them all together in one place at the end of the week, in case you missed some. They are classified in different categories with some tags so that you can quickly select what you are interested in. Happy reading.

I almost forgot last week’s designer big buzz : Logo by Squarespace. With this tool you can create a “logo” (humhum) using an icon from Nounproject and a tagline. There was a big buzz about this on social networks, some designer arguing that those are ridiculously no logos and other arguing that the service can still be usefull for small business with no budgets that won’t go to a webdesgner anyway.
