The Best of the Web selected by PV.M Garage. Every month I take a look around and select some of the most interesting readings and resources published on great websites.
August was a very strange month. Beach, holidays, beer, travels… but the design community can’t stop, so in this roundup you’ll find very cool and juicy things. By the way, I apologize for the delay, but August it also was an hard month for the web workers…
I hope you’ll find useful these bookmarks. Enjoy it!
