SitePoint Design/UX: 2018 Predictions and Ultraviolet Reigns Supreme

Hi there! This is the first edition of our new-look SitePoint Design/UX Newsletter! I've trawled SitePoint and the wider web for stuff you'll (hopefully) find useful or enjoy. I've also kept things pretty simple for now - we've got four sections: "tools", "resources", "tutorials" and "fun stuff". Hopefully there's more than one great link for you in each section, but let me know if there isn't by replying to this email. While I have you: if you like, you can jump on our other revamped email lists and start receiving our other newsletters - Front-end, Back-end, and Versioning - as well! I highly recommend doing that, but I may be (am) slightly biased. Click here to do that thing. That's all from me for now, enjoy this edition! - Adam   Design/UX Tools (Tools, apps, frameworks and other cool stuff you can use now) First up, a color scheme generator [donesmart] that’ll do one thing well - give it a color, you'll get some colors that go well with it. SketchCleaner [sketchcleaner] will get your Sketch files as clean as a clean whistle. Cleaner! Ultraviolet is the Pantone color of the year for 2018 [pantone]. It’s “Violet” who I feel sorry for.
