In addition to "thinking in divs," try to order the layers and groups in your Layer List just as they appear in the mock, from top-left to bottom-right
Keyboard Maestro is a super-powered macro utility for Mac

In News, we shout out a new resource from the maker of Laws of UX. And as always, we share a couple cool things like a browser for neoworkers and an article about the Omnibox.
Follow-up:
Last week, Marshall recommended the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9500 Electric Toothbrush
Brian doesn't think it's worth the money, unless you're into Mercedes-Benz, apparently
News:
Humane by Design is "a resource that provides guidance for designing ethically humane digital products through patterns focused on user well-being"
It's made by Jon Yablonski, who you might remember as the maker of Laws of UX referenced in 271: Principles of Design
Listener Question:
Anonymous has been at a startup for years and doesn't know where it's going. They ask, "Should I stay and fight the good fight? Or should I go to a bigger company and make more money?"
Loss Aversion and the Sunk Cost Fallacy on Wikipedia
Kristy Tillman is the Head of Global Experience Design at Slack
Do you have a question you'd like to hear us answer on the show? Email us at [email protected]
Industry Talk:
A few simple rules:
Rename and structure your layers as you create them
If you find yourself duplicating an element frequently, make it a symbol
Use "Bounds" layers to define a group's area, then snap groups together like Lego
Sketch Plugins:
Layer Tools
Automate
Artboard Manager
Symbol Organizer
Runner
Here the Sketch Cloud source file for Marshall's unsolicited redesign of the New York Times Crossword app on iOS
Importing the file into Figma resulted in some unexpected insanity, but hopefully you can see through the mistranslations and grok the structure. Sorry :(

Follow-up:
Last week we pulled back the curtain on Design Details and asked for your feedback. You replied! Some key takeaways:
Our titles need to be more straightforward and clear.
We need to bring back interviews, at a non-regular frequency, to balance our opinions and provide new insight .
We should try new ways of engaging with designers outside of the podcast - thank you to Kevin Gutowksi for the notes!
Our Twitter poll about the proper pronunciation of "favicon" had a lot of votes, and some interesting results.
News:
Sketch announced a $20m fundraising round to help them build new collaboration tools and a web version coming in 2019.
In the past we've interviewed Chris Downer and Pieter Omvlee from the Sketch team - listen to those to learn more about Sketch and how they thought about fundraising at the time.
Our good friends on the Layout podcast also discussed the Sketch news on this week's episode.
Listener Questions:
Silvia asks: "I'd love to get advice on how to present my design rationale to others, and ways I can improve rationale overall. I find that I do have reasons for the design choices I made but when presenting I can't seem to put into words."
Jobs to be done is a useful framework for understanding critical user journeys and validating rationale.
One Cool Thing:
Marshall shared the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9500, a toothbrush that can do everything except take out your trash.
Brian shared Tinkersynth, a web app created by Josh Comeau that lets you playfully create generative art.

This week, we discuss spoken accents, answer a listener question about salary negotiations, and Marshall dives deep into the design of Apex Legends. And as always, we share a couple cool things, like a hip hop musical and a way to bring joy back to your Twitter timeline.
Intro:
Jak McCormack wants us to attempt English accents. No thank you, Jak 😜
"That's bait"
Follow-up:
Anton Osipov shared a helpful visual for using a unit-based vertical baseline.
Zain Khoja shared studentswho.design, a podcast bridging the gap between students and the design industry - by students, for students.
Listener Questions:
An anonymous listener asks: "I’m about to change jobs and soon I’ll have initial call with someone from one of the companies I could potentially work for. I don’t want to invest too much of my time in multiple calls and meetings with them before being sure the offer meets my expectations, especially in terms of salary. But I also don’t want to be considered as one of those guys who care only about money. So my question is: what’s the right moment to talk about this? Should that be something to talk about during the very first call? Or maybe later? For context: it was the company who reached out to me whether I’d be interested in the role."
HBR wrote about what people want from their jobs.
Explain Like I'm Five:
Marshall goes deep into the world of Apex Legends.
Charlie Deets explains the magic of communication in Apex Legends
