Pixels of the Week – April 6, 2018
Every week I post a lot of my daily readings about Web, UI and UX Design, mobile design, webdesign tools and useful resources, inspiration on twitter and other social networks.
This week’s selection: psychology of price in UX, design systems, inclusive design, Firefox for development, defending post-its as a UX tool, CSS grid nice demo, User Journey templates, 2 really nice color palette tools, a fun video on the life of UX Designers, a typeface that combines braille with existing characters, UI mobile patterns, bringing media queries to Sketch with a plugin and other tools.
You can follow me on twitter to get a dose of links every days.
