Pixels of the Week – February 12, 2016

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 Remember that the following content might be outdated.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: var(–main-color), @supports, font-display, etc., you will know everything on those CSS properties, how to conduct an interface expert review, inspiring illustrations, food design and collages and some geometric illustration and SVG sprite tutorials. Also don’t miss the big selection of tools this week: a plugin to add fake datas in your mockups, a video gallery for mobile onboarding, a collection of free brush fonts, some Sketch plugins,  free high-res food photos and a way to simplify making breakpoints in LESS
