Pixels of the Week: Web Design links not to miss – May 30, 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’s article are mobile and UX related, you’ll find a beautiful tribute to Ghost in the Shell in the inspiration part, and many ressources to help your daily work. Happy reading.
