Pixels of the Week: Web Design links not to miss – October 24, 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.
This week’s selection: Apple and burger icon, public wifi security, mobile ergonomics and touch areas, cognition and UX, what would happen if we printed 1year of Instagram pictures, a nice lettering project, online tool to generate CSS clip-path, some freebies and a cursor game to help you procrastinate like a boss this morning.
