Pixels of the Week – August 19, 2016 by Stéphanie Walter

This content is 8 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 Remember that the following content might be outdated.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: PWA design, performance and tutorial, nice typography tips, a few CSS tutorials (writing-mode, creating your own language), human centered design principles, manipulation in UX and the use of wireframes, CSS animations and how to make them smooth and communicate them to the team. You’ll also find a few tattoos and illustrations in the inspiration section, a bear to remote control your devices and another one to bring you UX related articles, a scroll animation library and some SVG icons.

You can follow me on twitter to get a dose of links every days.
