In this post, I will put a collection of interesting UI and UX design news, updates, trends, whatever I’ve found on the internet. I will include the link to the actual article and also a short overview of what’s in there. Some stuff might be overlapping, which is actually good showing that multiple sources agree on the same things. The list below will show the most recent article at the top and has no particular order in terms of relevance or ranking. I will keep bumping this post whenever I update it. If you come across any interesting articles feel free to send me a message at elwinlee@outlook.com.
