Pixels of the Week: Web Design links not to miss – August 15, 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. This weekend you’ll discover the origines of the [X] symbol to close windows and will use and x to play CSS Tic tac Toe. Some little neuroscience reading, colorfull inspiration and a few CSS tools should keep you busy this weekend. Happy reading.
