Pixels of the Week: Web Design links not to miss – July 25, 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 you will find some SVG really cool stuff, some great reads on how to make your site and app “look” fast and a place to find free images.
