Pixels of the Week: Web Design links not to miss – Septembre 18, 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 we’ll talk about interface animation, user perceptions of progressive JPGs, mistakes to avoid on user onboarding and vertical-align in CSS. Don’t forget to take a look at the tool section, there’s a nice giveaway there 😉
For more links you can also follow me on twitter. Happy reading.
