Pixels of the Week – May 8, 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: mobile users behavior: thumb zones and social sharing buttons, the true about the “woman” icon releaved (spoiler she’s a super hero with a cape), user testing and user engagement on a onepage design, sign in button size, webarchive’s new design and many ressources for web designers among which HTML entities arrows and some nice emoticons. Don’t miss the last part if you are looking for nice games to procastinate today.
