We start the month with a new issue of SiloMag, where we collect, and share with you, the latest news, resources, articles and tutorials from the three fields that we are passionate about.
And in this SiloMag, about graphic design, we will see how we can improve our infographics, a magnificent collection of initials, and the redesign of some icons that you are sure are very familiar to you. On web design, we have a special source for UI, a very curious way to learn the properties of Flexbox, and a tool that facilitates the creation of animations on the web. And finally, for WordPress, the problem of cryptocurrency mining, some tips to maintain your website, and a list of scheduling tools to program the contents of your WordPress site.
As always, we hope you like it, and you can leave us any suggestions in the comments!
