Pixels of the Week: Web Design links not to miss – April 25, 2014

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. 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.

Mobile Navigation: Image Grids or Text Lists? tl;dnr: image grids should be used in deeper navigation levels where visual differentiation between products is important because they increase page load and create longer pages with more scrolling while lists are better suited for categorie and sub-categorie pages.
