Pixels of the Week – August 14, 2015
Every week I post a lot of my daily readings about Web, UI and UX Design, mobile design, webdesign tools and useful ressources, inspiration on twitter and other social networks.
This week’s selection: preference testing, form usability, glossary of typography, burger menu striking back, privacy paradox, how to deal with harassement at conferences, free webdesign trend ebook, color palette inspiration and Android experiments, responsive tables, SVG, push notifications and trim down CSS weight with Gulp. Don’t miss the nice demo of the week and a little agency name vs porn name game.
