Pixels of the Week: Web Design links not to miss – June 6, 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 week I selected some articles about Illustrator workflow and visual hierarchy, some really nice freebies and two places to some Fireworks extensions and Illustrator scripts.
Happy reading.
