Pixels of the Week – July 24, 2015

This content is 9 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 Remember that the following content might be outdated.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, mobile design, webdesign tools  and useful ressources, inspiration on twitter and other social networks.

This week’s selection: a nice selection of articles on user experience (mistakes, mobile user experience, using Google Analytics to help you), design explained to a 4-years-olds, some advice to help you with typography on the web, Illustrator messing up SVGs, the arrival of the Smashing Book 5, a few Illustrator, SVG and CSS tutorials. If you look at this week’s ressources you will find tools to help you debug on different devices, some nice gestures and pop culture heros/vilains icons, help to remplace jQuery mobile for some plugins. And since it’s Friday, don’t miss this week’s little game, got rhythm?
