Pixels of the Week – August 7, 2015
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: beeing a colorblind designer, some freelance advice, user experience and animation, typography, Fitt’s lwas explained in a simple image, nice interactive HTML/CSS demos to inspire you, Android’s device fragmentation in August 2015, a CDN for Google fonts, Transform each Photoshop script updated for CC 2015 and a selection of little online games so that you can procrastinate this Friday at work.
